HYMN CXI

A charm for insanity

Unbind and loose for me this man, O Agni, who bound and
well restrained is chattering folly.
Afterward he will offer thee thy portion when he hath been
delivered from his madness.
Let Agni gently soothe thy mind when fierce excitement troubles
it.
Well-skilled I make a medicine that thou no larger mayst be
mad.
Insane through sin against the Gods, or maddened by a demon's
power--
Well-skilled I make a medicine to free thee from insanity.
May the Apsarases release, Indra and Bhaga let thee go.
May all the Gods deliver thee that thou no longer mayst be
mad.
