Meaning of the Prayer Mantra:

 Oh lords of bliss and vitality! 
Provide the vivid medicaments in our bodies!
Relieve us from the bondage and the deeds committed by us!

 Notes: 

1. sOma - Lord of bliss; rudra - Lord of vitality; yuvam - you both;
tanUShu - in the body; dhattam - provide; mun~jchatam - relieve;
baddham - bondage.

2. In the four purusharthas, this Rig vedic hymn prays for the 
liberation. The favor of Divine is sought for liberation from
bondage and karma.

3. Rather than seeking the Grace for relief from an ailment,
the seeker is praying for the body to be blessed with vivid medicaments.
Thus the body shall stay resilient to any illness.
