Forth from the hills of snow they stream, and meet in the Indus here or there. To me the sacred waters gave the balm that heals the heart's disease.

2 Whatever rupture I have had that injured eyes or heels or toes, all this the waters, skilfullest physicians, shall make well again, by God's leave.

3 All ye rivers that have the Indus for your queen, give us the balm that heals this ill: this boon let us enjoy from you.
