देवेभ्यो अधि जातोऽसि सोमस्यासि सखा हितः । स प्राणाय व्यानाय चक्षुषे मे अस्मै मृड

From the Gods above thou wast begotten; thou art of Soma, his well-appointed friend. For my prāṇa and my vyāna, for mine eye-sight—be gracious unto this man here.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Āṅgirasa headings for bhaiṣajya hymns; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Kuṣṭha (as personified healing plant) allied with Soma; also implicitly the Devas as source.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant in AV healing verses; metrical exactness may be affected by Saṃhitā sandhi).
