Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1Scatter and drive away, Soma and Rudra, the sickness that hath
come within our dwelling, p. a287

ted sin release us.
2Lay on our bodies, O ye twain, O Soma and Rudra, all those
balms that heal diseases.
Set free and draw away the sin committed, which we have still
inherent in our persons.
