1. Thou
that art born upon the mountains, as the most potent of plants, come hither, O
kushtha, destroyer of the takman, to drive out from here the takman!
2. To thee
(that growest) upon the mountain, the brooding-place of the eagle, (and) art
sprung from Himavant, they come with treasures, having heard (thy fame). For
they know (thee to be) the destroyer of the takman.
3. The
asvattha-tree is the seat of the gods in the third heaven from here. There the
gods procured the kushtha, the visible manifestation of amrita (ambrosia).
4. A
golden ship with golden tackle moved upon the heavens. There the gods procured
the kushtha, the flower of amrita (ambrosia).
5. The
paths were golden, and golden were the oars; golden were the ships, upon which
they carried forth the kushtha hither (to the mountain).
6. This
person here, O kushtha, restore for me, and cure him! Render him free from
sickness for me!
7. Thou
art born of the gods, thou art Soma's good friend. Be thou propitious to my
in-breathing and my out-breathing, and to this eye of mine!
8. Sprung
in the north from the Himavant (mountains), thou art brought to the people in
the east. There the most stiperior varieties of the kushtha were apportioned.
9.
'Superior,' O kushtha, is thy name; 'superior' is the name of thy father. Do
thou drive out all disease, and render the takman devoid of strength!
10. Pain
in the head, affliction in the eye, and ailment of the body, all that shall the
kushtha heal-a divinely powerful (remedy), forsooth!
