Do not let Rudra be angry with you; obeisance to you, do not accept evil praise, O bull, do not be inhospitable. Present the heroes upward, offer remedies; I hear you as the physician.

Let us not provoke you, Rudra, to wrath by our (imperfect) adorations; nor, showerer (of benefits), by our unworthy praise, nor by our invocation (of other deities); invigorate our sons by your medicinal plural nts, for I hear that you are a chief physician amongst physicians.

Let us not anger thee with worship, Rudra, ill praise, Strong God! or mingled invocation. Do thou with strengthening balms incite our heroes: I hear thee famed as best of all physicians.
