What happens in this chapter

Soma and Rudra, bring every healing

Bharadvaja Barhaspatya prays to Soma and Rudra together in four trishtubh mantras, one of the Veda's healing prayers. Let them hold their divine might, bring seven treasures to every house, and be gentle to our two-footed and four-footed. They are asked to tear out the sickness that has entered the home and drive Nirriti, decay, far away. Let them place all medicines in our bodies, and loosen and free from us whatever sin we have done that is bound in our bodies. Sharp of weapon yet kind, may they be gracious here, free us from Varuna's noose and guard us with good will.

सोमा॑रुद्रा यु॒वमे॒तान्य॒स्मे विश्वा॑ त॒नूषु॑ भेष॒जानि॑ धत्तम् ।

74.4

ति॒ग्मायु॑धौ ति॒ग्महे॑ती सु॒शेवौ॒ सोमा॑रुद्रावि॒ह सु मृ॑ळतं नः ।
प्र नो॑ मुञ्चतं॒ वरु॑णस्य॒ पाशा॑द्गोपा॒यतं॑ नः सुमन॒स्यमा॑ना

tigmāyudhau tigmahetī suśevau somārudrāviha su mṛḻataṃ naḥ |
pra no muñcataṃ varuṇasya pāśādgopāyataṃ naḥ sumanasyamānā
