HYMN CIX

A charm to heal punctured wounds 1. The Berry heals the missile’s rent, it heals the deeply-piercing    wound.   The Gods prepared and fashioned it. This hath sufficient power    for life. 2. When from their origin they came, the Berries spake among    themselves:   The man whom we shall find alive shall never suffer injury. 3. Asuras buried thee in earth: the Gods again uplifted thee.   Healer of sickness caused by wounds and healer of the missile’s    rent.
