Sukta 33
यक्ष्मविबर्हणम्। ५ उपरिष्टाद्विराड्बृहती, ६ उष्णिग्गर्भा निचृदनुष्टुप्, ७ पथ्यापङ्क्तिः। अ॒क्षीभ्यां॑ ते॒ नासि॑काभ्यां॒ कर्णा॑भ्यां छुबु॑का॒दधि॑ । यक्ष्मं॑ शीर्ष॒ण्यं ऽ म॒स्तिष्का॑ज्जि॒ह्वाया॒ वि वृ॑हामि ते
akṣī́bhyāṃ te nā́sikābhyāṃ kárṇābhyāṃ chubúkād ádhi | yákṣmaṃ śīrṣaṇyàṃ mastíṣkāj jihvā́yā ví vṛhāmi te
From thine eyes, from thy nostrils, from thine ears, from above the chin— The yákṣma that is head-ensconced, from the brain, from the tongue, I tear it forth from thee.
من عينيك، ومن منخريك، ومن أذنيك، ومن فوق الذقن—اليَكْشْما (yakṣma) القابع في الرأس، من الدماغ، ومن اللسان—أنتزعه منك.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific ṛṣi not stated in the supplied excerpt)
Devata: Yákṣma (as disease-demon) / healing-extraction force of the Atharvan
Chandas: Noted in the Anukramaṇī for this hymn-cycle: mixed meters; this mantra is commonly treated as anuṣṭubh-like in cadence, but the excerpt indicates a metrical sequence across verses (5–7) and does not explicitly label v.1.
Primary: vira
