Rohiṇī is the Forest’s Lord. Rohiṇī thou art: Rohiṇī, the knitter-up of bone that hath been severed. Knit thou this here—O Arundhatī, the firm restrainer.

Mantra 2

यत् ते॑ रि॒ष्टं य॑त् ते द्यु॒त्तमस्ति॒ पेष्ट्रं॑ त आ॒त्मनि । धा॒ता तद् भ॒द्रया॒ पुनः॒ सं द॑ध॒त् परु॑षा॒ परुः॑

Whatso of thine is hurt, whatso of thine is shattered, what bruised abideth in thy body—Dhātṛ, with kindly power, shall set that once again together, joint upon joint.

Mantra 3

सं ते॑ म॒ज्जा म॒ज्ज्ञा भ॑वतु॒ समु॑ ते॒ परु॑षा॒ परुः॑ । सं ते॑ मां॒सस्य॒ विस्र॑स्तं॒ समस्थ्यपि॑ रोहतु

Marrow with marrow let thine be knit together; yea, joint with joint be joined. What of thy flesh is loosened—let it be knit; and let the bone also grow together again.

स उत् ति॑ष्ठ॒ प्रेहि॒ प्र द्र॑व॒ रथः॑ सुच॒क्रः सु॑प॒विः सु॒नाभिः॑। प्रति॑ तिष्ठो॒र्ध्वः

Rise up; go forth; speed onward—like a chariot well-wheeled, well-rimmed, well-naved. Stand back again, upright.

If, falling into a pit, thou hast been shattered; if a stone, hurled, hath smitten thee—then, as R̥bhu set together the members of a chariot, so let joint be fitted unto joint.

Mantra 8

रोहिणी- वनस्पतिः। १-७ ऋभुः। रोहिणी- वनस्पतिः। अनुष्टुप्, १ त्रिपदा गायत्री, ६ त्रिपदा यवमध्या भुरिग्गायत्री, ७ बृहती। रोह॑ण्यसि॒ रोह॑ण्य॒स्थ्नश्छि॒न्नस्य॒ रोह॑णी । रो॒हये॒दम॑रुन्धति

Rohiṇī thou art, Rohiṇī—Rohiṇī of the severed bone. Cause this to grow whole, O Arundhatī.

Mantra 10

सं ते॑ म॒ज्जा म॒ज्ज्ञा भ॑वतु॒ समु॑ ते॒ परु॑षा॒ परुः॑ । सं ते॑ मां॒सस्य॒ विस्र॑स्तं॒ समस्थ्यपि॑ रोहतु

Marrow with marrow be united for thee; joint with joint be wholly joined for thee. Let the loosened flesh be knit together for thee; let bone moreover grow fast thereon.

लोम॒ लोम्ना॒ सं क॑ल्पया त्व॒चा सं क॑ल्पया॒ त्वच॑म्। असृ॑क् ते॒ अस्थि॑ रोहतु छि॒न्नं सं धे॑ह्योषधे

Hair with hair do thou set in order; with skin set thou the skin in order. Let blood knit fast thy bone: O Herb, set thou together what is cut asunder.

If, by a fall, a cut hath closed and clung together; if a stone, hurled forth, hath smitten (the man):—as the R̥bhus set in order the members of a chariot, so may they fit together the limbs, joint upon joint.
