HYMN XCV

A charm to remove disease 1. In the third heaven above us stands the Asvattha tree, the seat    of Gods.   There the Gods gained the Kushtha plant, embodiment of end-    less life. 2. There moved through heaven a golden ship, a ship with cordage    wrought of gold.   There Gods obtained the Kushtha plant, the flower of immor-    tality. 3. Thou art the infant of the plants, the infant of the Snowy Hills:   The germ of every thing that is: free this my friend from his    disease.
