Sukta 39
यं त्वा वेद पूर्व इक्ष्वाको यं वा त्वा कुष्ठ काम्यः । यं वा वसो यमात्स्यस्तेनासि विश्वभेषजः
yáṃ tvā véda pū́rva íkṣvāko yáṃ vā tvā kuṣṭha kāmyàḥ | yáṃ vā vásur yáṃ mātsyás ténāsi viśvá-bheṣajaḥ
Whom ancient Ikṣvāku knew—yea, whom the seeker knew thee, O Kuṣṭha; whom Vasu knew, whom Mātsya knew—thereby thou art the universal remedy.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (anukramaṇī attribution varies)
Devata: Kuṣṭha (herb-deity)
