Sukta 17
अ॒पा॒मा॒र्ग ओष॑धीनां॒ सर्वा॑सा॒मेक॒ इद् व॒शी। तेन॑ ते मृज्म॒ आस्थि॑त॒मथ॒ त्वम॑ग॒दश्च॑र
apā́mārgo óṣadhīnāṁ sárvāsām éka íd vaśī́ | téna te mṛjmo ā́sthitaṁ átha tvám agadó cara ||
Apāmārga, of all the herbs, is verily the one sole lord. With him we wipe away what hath settled upon thee; then do thou, as remedy, go forth and work.
Apāmārga, parmi toutes les herbes, est en vérité l’unique seigneur. Par lui nous essuyons ce qui s’est déposé sur toi; puis, en remède, avance et agis.
