Hymns of the Atharva-Veda (Bloomfield, SBE 42) ยท 1 passage
1. From thy eyes, thy nostrils, ears, and chin--the disease which is seated in thy head--from thy brain and tongue I do tear it out. 2. From thy neck, nape of the neck, ribs, and spine--the disease which is seated in thy fore-arm--from thy shoulders and arms I do tear it out. 3. From thy heart, thy lungs, viscera, and sides; from thy kidneys, spleen, and liver we do tear out the disease. 4. From thy entrails, canals, rectum, and abdomen; from thy belly, guts, and navel I do tear out the disease. 5. From thy thighs, knees, heels, and the tips of thy feet--from thy hips I do tear out the disease seated in thy buttocks, from thy bottom the disease seated in thy buttocks. 6. From thy bones, marrow, sinews and arteries; from thy hands, fingers, and nails I do tear out the disease. 7. The disease that is in thy every limb, thy every hair, thy every joint; that which is seated in thy skin, with Kasyapa's charm, that tears out, to either side we do tear it out.
