HYMN XXIV

To the Rivers

1Forth from the Hills of Snow they stream, and meet in Sindhu
   here or there.
  To me the sacred Waters gave the balm that heals the heart's
   disease.
2Whatever rupture I have had that injured eyes or heels or toes.
  All this the Waters, skilfullest physicians, shall make well again,
3All Rivers who have Sindhu for your Lady, Sindhu for your
  Queen,
  Give us the balm that heals this ill: this boon let us enjoy from
   you.
