पादा॑भ्यां ते॒ जानु॑भ्यां॒ श्रोणि॑भ्यां॒ परि॒ भंस॑सः । अनू॑कादर्ष॒णीरु॒ष्णिहा॑भ्यः शी॒र्ष्णो रोग॑मनीनशम्

From thy feet, from thy knees, from thy hips—away from the buttocks; from the spine, from the shoulders, from the ribs—from the head have I made the disease to disappear.
पादाभ्यां ते जानुभ्यां श्रोणिभ्यां परि भंससः; अनूकात् अर्षणीभ्यः उष्णिहाभ्यः, शीर्ष्णो रोगम् अनीनशम्।
