Atharva Veda 19.39.9: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 39, Mantra 9
Sukta 39
यं त्वा॒ वेद॒ पूर्व॒ इक्ष्वा॑को॒ यं वा॑ त्वा कुष्ठ का॒म्यः । यं वा॒ वसो॑ यमात्स्य॒स्तेनासि॑ वि॒श्वभे॑षजः
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.
જેને પ્રાચીન ઇક્ષ્વાકુ જાણતો હતો—અને જેને, હે કુષ્ઠ, તને ઇચ્છનાર સાધક જાણતો હતો; જેને વસુ જાણતો હતો, જેને માત્સ્ય જાણતો હતો—એ જ કારણે તું સર્વરોગહર, વિશ્વભેષજ છે.
