Sukta 9
यश्चकार स निष्करत् स एव सुभिषक्तमः । स एव तुभ्यं भेषजानि कृणवद् भिषजा शुचिः
yáś cakā́ra sá níṣkarat sá evá subhíṣaktamaḥ | sá evá túbhyaṃ bheṣajā́ni kṛṇávad bhiṣájā śúcíḥ ||
He who hath wrought (the cure), he hath brought it forth: he verily is the most excellent of physicians. He, even he, being pure, as a healer, shall for thee make ready the medicaments.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn-level attribution varies by Anukramaṇī; commonly treated as Atharvan/Angiras-type medical speech)
Devata: Bhaiṣajya / the archetypal Physician (often conceptually aligned with divine healing agency, e.g., Aśvins/Indra in broader Vedic healing idiom)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; verse is in the common Atharvanic anuṣṭubh cadence)
