HYMN CIX

A charm to heal punctured wounds

1The Berry heals the missile's rent, it heals the deeply-piercing
  wound.
 The Gods prepared and fashioned it. This hath sufficient power
  for life.
2When from their origin they came, the Berries spake among
  themselves:
 The man whom we shall find alive shall never suffer injury. p. a251
3Asuras buried thee in earth: the Gods again uplifted thee.
 Healer of sickness caused by wounds and healer of the missile's
  rent.
