Oṣadhi Sūktam
Drawn from the Taittirīya Saṃhitā, this sūktam consists of 20 mantras dedicated to the Oṣadhī-s, the healing plants personified as divine mothers and goddesses. The herbs themselves are the presiding deities of the hymn, addressed as living, conscious powers that descended from heaven three ages before the gods to bring healing, vitality, and protection to all beings.
