HYMN XXXVIII

A protective charm

1Never Consumption, never curse touches the man, Arundhatī!
  Whom the delicious odour of the healing Bdellium penetrates
2Consumptions flee apart from it as from a wild beast fly the
   deer.
  If thou, O Bdellium, art produced from Sindhu or hast come
   from sea,
  The quality of both have I taken to keep this man unscathed.
