Oriki Osanyin - Praising the Spirit of Herbal Medicine

Agbenigi, oromodie abidi sonso,


One who is versed in the use of roots, one who has a sharp, pointed tail like
that of a chick,
Esinsin abedo kinnikinni; Koogo egboro irin,
One who has a liver as crystal clear as a fly's; One who is as powerful as
an iron rod,
Akepe nigba oran ko sn!on, "iotio tin, a gba aso oknrin ta giegie,
One whom people appeal to when things are bad, The extremely slender one who,
in curing, snatches the apparel of illness and moves as if he would fall.

So be it.
