HYMN CXXXVII Visvedevas.

1. YE Gods, raise up once more the man whom ye have humbled and brought low.

O Gods, restore to life again the man who hatb committed sin.

2 Two several winds are blowing here, from Sindhu, from a distant land.

May one breathe energy to thee, the other blow disease away.

3 Hither, O Wind, blow healing balm, blow all disease away, thou Wind;

For thou who hast all medicine comest as envoy of the Gods.

4 I am come nigh to thee with balms to give thee rest and keep thee safe.

I bring thee blessed strength, I drive thy weakening malady away.

5 Here let the Gods deliver him, the Maruts' band deliver him:

All things that be deliver him that he be freed from his disease.

6 The Waters have their healing power, the Waters drive disease away.

The Waters have a balm for all: let them make medicine for thee.

7 The tongue that leads the voice precedes. Then with our ten-fold branching hands,

With these two chasers of disease we stroke thee with a gentle touch.
