Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.12

रोहण्य् असि रोहण्य् अस्थ्नश् छिन्नस्य रोहणी । रोहयेदम् अरुन्धति ॥१॥

rohaṇy asi rohaṇy asthnaś chinnasya rohaṇī | rohayedam arundhati ||1||

Grower art thou, grower; grower of severed bone; make this grow, O arundhatī́.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यत् ते रिष्टं यत् ते द्युत्तम् अस्ति पेष्ट्रं त आत्मनि । धाता तद् भद्रया पुनः सं दधत् परुषा परुः ॥२॥

yat te riṣṭaṃ yat te dyuttam asti peṣṭraṃ ta ātmani | dhātā tad bhadrayā punaḥ saṃ dadhat paruṣā paruḥ ||2||

What of thee is torn (riç), what of thee is inflamed (? dyut), is crushed (? péṣṭra) in thyself—may Dhātar excellently put that together again, joint with joint.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

सं ते मज्जा मज्ज्ञा भवतु सम् उ ते परुषा परुः । सं ते मांसस्य विस्रस्तं सम् अस्थ्य् अपि रोहतु ॥३॥

saṃ te majjā majjñā bhavatu sam u te paruṣā paruḥ | saṃ te māṃsasya visrastaṃ sam asthy api rohatu ||3||

Let thy marrow come together with marrow, and thy joint together with joint; together let what of thy flesh has fallen apart, together let thy bone grow over.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

मज्जा मज्ञा सं धीयतां चर्मणा चर्म रोहतु । असृक् ते अस्थि रोहतु मांसं मांसेन रोहतु ॥४॥

majjā majñā saṃ dhīyatāṃ carmaṇā carma rohatu | asṛk te asthi rohatu māṃsaṃ māṃsena rohatu ||4||

Let marrow be put together with marrow; let skin (cárman) grow (ruh) with skin; let thy blood, bone grow; let flesh grow with flesh.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

लोम लोम्ना सं कल्पया त्वचा सं कल्पया त्वचम् । असृक् ते अस्थि रोहतु छिन्नं सं धेह्य् ओषधे ॥५॥

loma lomnā saṃ kalpayā tvacā saṃ kalpayā tvacam | asṛk te asthi rohatu chinnaṃ saṃ dhehy oṣadhe ||5||

Fit thou together hair with hair; fit together skin (tvác) with skin; let thy blood, bone grow; put together what is severed, O herb.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

स उत् तिष्ठ प्रेहि प्र द्रव रथः सुचक्रः । सुपविः सुनाभिः प्रति तिष्ठोर्ध्वः ॥६॥

sa ut tiṣṭha prehi pra drava rathaḥ sucakraḥ | supaviḥ sunābhiḥ prati tiṣṭhordhvaḥ ||6||

Do thou here stand up, go forth, run forth, a chariot well-wheeled, well-tired, well-naved; stand firm upright.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यदि कर्तं पतित्वा संशश्रे यदि वाश्मा प्रहृतो जघान । ऋभू रथस्येवाङ्गानि सं दधत् परुषा परुः ॥७॥

yadi kartaṃ patitvā saṃśaśre yadi vāśmā prahṛto jaghāna | ṛbhū rathasyevāṅgāni saṃ dadhat paruṣā paruḥ ||7||

If, falling into a pit, he hath been crushed (sam-çṛ), or if a stone hurled (pra-kṛ) hath smitten [him]—as a Ṛbhu the parts of a chariot, may it put together joint with joint.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
