यदि॒मा वा॒जय॑न्न॒हमोष॑धी॒र्हस्त॑ आद॒धे । आ॒त्मा यक्ष्म॑स्य नश्यति पु॒रा जी॑व॒गृभो॑ यथा
yadimā vājayannahamoṣadhīrhasta ādadhe ātmā yakṣmasya naśyati purā jīvagṛbho yathā
If I bring you as sustenance, O herbs, with our blessing, the soul of consumption is not destroyed—like the ancient living-grasper of old.
As soon as I take these plural nts in my hand making (the sick man) strong, the soul of the maladyperishes before (their application) as (life is driven away from the presence) of the seizer of life.
When, bringing back the vanished strength, I hold these herbs within my hand, The spirit of disease departs ere he can seize upon the life.
