vi. 23- 3. In the impulse (savá) of the divine impeller (savitár) let men do their [sacred] work; weal to us be the waters, the herbs propitious.

1. They flow forth from the snowy (mountain); in the Indus somewhere [is their] gathering; may the heavenly waters give to me that remedy for heart-burn.

2. Whatever hath burnt (ā-dyut) in my eyes, and what in my heels, my front feet; may the waters remove all that—they of physicians the most excellent physicians.

3. Ye whose spouse is the Indus, whose king is the Indus, all ye streams that are—give us the remedy for this; for that would we enjoy you.

1. Both the five and the fifty that gather against those of the nape—let them all disappear from here, like the noises (? vāká) of the apacíts.
