Plain text of Book The Eighth · Book 8, Hymn 10. The Healers, Servants of God
1 Whether ye travel far away or dwell in yonder light of heaven, or in a mansion that is built above the sea, come thence, ye healers, hitherward.
2 Or if for man ye prepared the devotion, remember also Kanva's son.
I call upon God, the Lord of prayer, the Mighty, the All-Pervading, and all His angels, the healers borne by rapid steeds.
3 Those healers I invoke who work marvels, brought hither to receive,
With whom our friendship is most famed, and kinship passing that of the angels.
4 On whom the solemn rites depend, whose worshippers rise without the sun:
These who foreknow the holy work of devotion, and by their nature accept the sweets of the offering.
5 Whether ye, lords of ample wealth, now linger in the east or west,
With Druhyu, or with Anu, Yadu, Turvaga, I call you hither; come to me.
6 Lords of great riches, whether through the firmament ye fly or speed through heaven and earth,
Or by your angelic natures stand upon your cars, come thence, O healers, hitherward.
