Sukta 33
अङ्गे॑अङ्गे॒ लोम्नि॑लोम्नि॒ यस्ते॒ पर्व॑णिपर्वणि । यक्ष्मं॑ त्वचस्य ऽ ते व॒यं क॒श्यप॑स्य वीब॒र्हेण॒ विष्व॑ञ्चं॒ वि वृ॑हामसि
áṅge áṅge lómni lómni yás te párvaṇi párvaṇi | yákṣmaṁ tvacasyàḥ te vayáṁ kaśyápasya vībarhéṇa víṣvañcam ví vṛ́hamasi ||
In limb after limb, in hair after hair, which of thine is in joint after joint—thy cutaneous wasting-disease: that, all-pervading, we, with Kaśyapa’s vībarha, tear forth and rend away.
في عضوٍ بعد عضو، في شعرةٍ بعد شعرة، ما كان منك في مفصلٍ بعد مفصل—ذلك اليَكْشْمَا (yakṣma) الجِلدي، داءُ الهُزال: ذلك الشاملُ في كلِّ جهة، نحنُ، بڤِيبَرْهَ (vībarha) كَشْيَپَا (Kaśyapa)، نقتلعُه ونمزّقه خارجًا.
Rishi: Kaśyapa (invoked; the hymn is within the Kaśyapa-associated healing current)
Devata: Yákṣma (as the targeted affliction/demon); remedial power mediated through Kaśyapa and the ‘vībarha’
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; requires metrical verification against a padapāṭha-accented edition)
Primary: adbhuta
Secondary: vira
