HYMN CIX

A charm to heal punctured wounds

1The Berry heals the missile's rent, it heals the deeply-piercing
   wound.
  The Gods prepared and fashioned it. This hath sufficient power
   for life.
2When from their origin they came, the Berries spake among
   themselves:
  The man whom we shall find alive shall never suffer injury. p. a251
3Asuras buried thee in earth: the Gods again uplifted thee.
  Healer of sickness caused by wounds and healer of the missile's
   rent.
