Mantra ek jadi buti ko taakat deta hai rog ko jadd se ukhadne ke liye. Cipudru naam ki dawai ka use karke rog ko body se bahar bhagaya jaata hai.

Mantras
Mantra 1
यक्ष्मनाशनम्। वि॒द्र॒धस्य॑ ब॒लास॑स्य॒ लोहि॑तस्य वनस्पते । वि॒सल्प॑कस्योषधे॒ मोच्छि॑षः पिशि॒तं च॒न
Yeh rog ko khatam karne ki dua hai. Phode, khasi, aur laal daage, vanaspati bhagwan, tum unko mita do. Jadi buti, tum bimaari ka koi nishan mat chodo, kuch bhi nahi.
Mantra 2
यौ ते॑ बलास॒ तिष्ठ॑तः॒ कक्षे॑ मु॒ष्कावप॑श्रितौ । वेदा॒हं तस्य॑ भेष॒जं ची॒पुद्रु॑रभि॒चक्ष॑णम्
Balaas, tumhari jo dono cheezein pakad ke baithi hain, bagal mein aur andkosh mein. Main unka ilaaj jaanta hoon. Cipudru naam ki jadi, jo theek karti hai.
Mantra 3
यो अङ्ग्यो॒ यः कर्ण्यो॒ यो अ॒क्ष्योर्वि॒सल्प॑कः । वि वृ॑हामो वि॒सल्प॑कं विद्र॒धं हृ॑दयाम॒यम्। परा॒ तमज्ञा॑तं॒ यक्ष्म॑मध॒राञ्चं॑ सुवामसि
Jo bimaari haath mein hai, kaan mein hai, aankhon mein hai. Hum usko phaad ke nikaal dete hain, woh phoda, woh dil ki bimaari. Us chhupa huye rog ko hum bahut door bhej dete hain, neeche gira dete hain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yakṣma is a wasting, lingering disease-category in Atharvavedic medicine, often treated as a harmful force that must be expelled—especially when it is ‘unknown’ (ajñāta) or hidden in the body.
In the Atharvaveda, medicinal plants are personified as living healers whose power can be invoked by mantra; the herb is treated as an agent that searches out illness and removes it.
The hymn combines (1) naming and locating the disorder, (2) activating a specific remedy (cīpudru), and (3) a forceful ‘tearing out’ and banishing of disease—sending it downward and far away so it cannot remain or return.
