Book 7: Hymn 42: A prayer for delivery from sin and sickness

1Scatter and drive away, Soma and Rudra, the sickness that hath come within our dwelling, p. a287 Afar into the distance chase Destruction, and even from commit- ted sin release us. 2Lay on our bodies, O ye twain, O Soma and Rudra, all those balms that heal diseases. Set free and draw away the sin committed, which we have still inherent in our persons.
