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