Sukta 8
ये अङ्गा॑नि॒ म॒दय॑न्ति॒ यक्ष्मा॑सो रोप॒णास्तव॑ । यक्ष्मा॑णां॒ सर्वे॑षां वि॒षं निर॑वोचम॒हं त्वत्
yé aṅgā́ni madáyanti yákṣmāso ropaṇā́stava | yákṣmāṇā́ṃ sárveṣāṃ viṣáṃ níravocam aháṃ tvát ||
The yákṣmas that madden the limbs—thy healers are they: the poison of all the yákṣmas, from thee, I have spoken forth and away.
Die yákṣmas, die die Glieder betäuben—das sind deine Heiler. Das Gift aller yákṣmas habe ich von dir weg ausgesprochen.
