1Never Consumption, never curse touches the man, Arundhatī! Whom the delicious odour of the healing Bdellium penetrates 2Consumptions flee apart from it as from a wild beast fly the deer. If thou, O Bdellium, art produced from Sindhu or hast come from sea, The quality of both have I taken to keep this man unscathed.
