Atharva Veda 2.33.6: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 33, Mantra 6
Sukta 33
अ॒स्थिभ्य॑स्ते म॒ज्जभ्यः॒ स्नाव॑भ्यो ध॒मनि॑भ्यः । यक्ष्मं॑ पा॒णिभ्या॑म॒ङ्गुलि॑भ्यो न॒खेभ्यो॒ वि वृ॑हामि ते
ásthibhyas te májjabhyáḥ snā́vabhyo dhamánibhyaḥ | yákṣmaṃ pāṇíbhyām aṅgulíbhyo nakhébhyo ví vṛhāmi te ||
From thy bones, from thy marrows, from thy sinews, from thy pulsating vessels—from thy hands, from thy fingers, from thy nails—thy wasting yákṣma do I rend away, plucking it forth from thee.
તારા હાડકાંમાંથી, તારા મજ્જામાંથી, તારા સ્નાયુઓમાંથી, ધમનીઓમાંથી; તારા હાથમાંથી, તારી આંગળીઓમાંથી, તારા નખોમાંથી—તારો યક્ષ્મા હું ફાડી, ઉપાડી બહાર કાઢી, તારાથી દૂર કરું છું.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for bhaiṣajya hymns; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī lists).
Devata: Yákṣma (as personified disease) as the direct target; implicitly the healing power of Atharvanic speech.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (4 pādas of 8 syllables; typical of AV healing charms)
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
