A hundred sheep and wolves, with a gift of sight, the swift mares and the bay horse he made blind; therefore Nāsatya set the eye, the healer of the ten, like a physician.
When his father caused,Ṛjrāśvā, as he was giving to a she-wolf a hundred sheep cut up in pieces, to become blind, you, Dasras, physicians (of the gods), gave him eyes (that had been) unable to find their way, with which he might see.
