10.137.4I 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.

10.137.5Here let the Gods deliver him, the Maruts' band deliver him: All things that be deliver him that he be freed from his disease.

10.137.6The Waters have their healing power, the Waters drive disease away. The Waters have a balm for all: let them make medicine for thee.
