Sukta 96
ग्री॒वाभ्य॑स्त उ॒ष्णिहा॑भ्यः॒ कीक॑साभ्यो अनू॒क्याऽत्। यक्ष्मं॑ दोष॒ण्य॑१मंसा॑भ्यां बा॒हुभ्यां॒ वि वृ॑हामि ते
grīvā́bhyas te uṣṇíhābhyas kī́kasābhyo anū́kyāt | yákṣmaṃ doṣaṇyàṃ aṃsā́bhyāṃ bāhúbhyāṃ ví vṛhāmi te
From thy neck, from thy nape, from the vertebrae, from the spine—yakṣma, lodged in shoulder and arm, from shoulders, from arms, I tear it forth from thee.
गले से, गर्दन के पीछे से, रिर्हड़ से, और कमर की हड्डियों से, मैं यह बीमारी निकाल रहा हूँ। जो कंधे और बाज़ू में फंसी है, मैं उसे वहाँ से भी निकाल रहा हूँ।
