Sukta 13
आ त्वागमं शंतातिभिरथो अरिष्टतातिभिः । दक्षं त उग्रमाभारिषं परा यक्ष्मं सुवामि ते
ā tvā́gamam śáṃtātibhir átho ariṣṭátātibhiḥ | dákṣaṃ ta ugrám ā́bhāriṣam párā yákṣmaṃ suvāmi te
Hither have I come unto thee with bestowals of peace, yea, with bestowals of unhurt security. For thee have I brought strong, vigorous power: from thee I drive the wasting Yakṣma far away.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī)
Devata: Bhaiṣajya/Healing power; anti-Yakṣma efficacy (yakṣma as the adversary)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant in this healing sequence)
