Mantra 6
Sukta 96
मुञ्चामि त्वा हविषा जीवनाय कमज्ञातयक्ष्मादुत राजयक्ष्मात्। ग्राहिर्जग्राह यद्येतदेनं तस्या इन्द्राग्नी प्र मुमुक्तमेनम्
muñcā́mi tvā havíṣā jī́vanāya kám ajñātayakṣmā́d utá rājayakṣmā́t | grāhíḥ jagrā́ha yády etád enaṃ tásyā ind्रāgnī prá mumuktam enam
With oblation I loose thee forth for life, from unknown wasting and from kingly wasting. If the Seizer have seized him with this assault, from that, O Indra and Agni, do ye wholly release him.
हविषा (आहुति) के द्वारा मैं तुम्हें जीवन के लिए मुक्त करता हूँ—अज्ञात क्षय-रोग (यक्ष्म) से भी और राजयक्ष्म से भी। यदि ‘ग्राहि’ (पकड़ने वाला) ने इस आघात से उसे पकड़ लिया हो, तो उससे, हे इन्द्र और अग्नि, तुम उसे पूर्णतः छुड़ा दो।
Rishi: RV-derived healing/āyuṣya complex in AV 20; r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī.
Devata: Indra-Agni (dual), with yakṣma/grahi as adversarial agents
Chandas: RV-style; likely Triṣṭubh (requires metrical verification).
