English translation:
“Radiant with benevolent light, rising today and mountina into the highest heaven, do you O Sun, remove sickness of my heart, and the yellowness (of my body).”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Hrḍ-roga = heart-burn or indigestion;
Harimāṇam = greenness (caused by bilious afflictions). Praśkaṇva was reportedly cured of leprosy or a cutaneous malady, with this praise of Sūrya; Śaunaka treats this as a mantra dedicated to the Sun to remove sin, heal disease, be an antidote to poison and as a means of obtaining present happiness and final liberation
