Sukta 8

ह॒रि॒माणं॑ ते॒ अङ्गे॑भ्यो॒ऽप्वाम॑न्त॒रोदरा॑त्। य॒क्ष्मो॒धाम॒न्तरा॒त्मनो॑ ब॒हिर्निर्म॑न्त्रयामहे

harimā́ṇaṃ te aṅgébhyo ’pvā́m antaró̱darāt | yakṣmó̱dhām antarā́tmano bahír nírmantrayāmahé ||

Thy yellowness from the limbs, apvā from within the belly, and yakṣma’s settled abode from within the self—we charm them forth and drive without.

يا هذا، إنَّ اصفرارك (هريمانا harimāṇa) من أعضائك—و«أپڤا» apvā من داخل البطن—ومقرَّ «يَكْشْمَا» yakṣma من داخل النفس؛ نُخرِجها بالتعويذ ونطردها إلى الخارج.
