Atharva Veda 3.11: A charm for the recovery of a dangerously sick man

For life I set thee free by this oblation both from unmarked'.
decline and from consumption: Or if the grasping demon have possessed him, free him from her,.
O Indra, thou and Agni!

Be his days ended, be he now departed, be he brought very near to death already, Out of Destruction's lap again I bring him, save him for life to last a hundred autumns.

With sacrifice thousand-eyed and hundred-powered, bringing a hundred lives, have I restored him, That Indra through the autumns may conduct him safe to the farther shore of all misfortune.

Live, waxing in thy strength a hundred autumns, live through a hundred springs, a hundred winters!
Indra, Agni, Savitar, Brihaspati give thee a hundred! With hundred-lived oblation have I saved him,

Breath, Respiration, come to him, as two car-oxen to their stall!
Let all the other deaths, whereof men count a hundred, pass away.

Breath, Respiration, stay ye here. Go ye not hence away from him, Bring, so that he may reach old age, body and members back again.

I give thee over to old age, make thee the subject of old age.
Let kindly old age lead thee on. Let all the other deaths, whereof men count a hundred, pass away!

Old age hath girt thee with its bonds even as they bind a bull with rope.
The death held thee at thy birth bound with a firmly-knotted noose, Therefrom, with both the hands of Truth, Brihaspati hath loose-ned thee.
