Sukta 4
शी॒र्षा॒म॒यमु॑पह॒त्याम॒क्ष्योस्त॒न्वो॒३रपः॑ । कुष्ठ॒स्तत् सर्वं॒ निष्क॑र॒द् दैवं॑ समह॒ वृष्ण्य॑म्
śīrṣāmayám upahatyám akṣyós tanvòḥ ápaḥ | kuṣṭhás tát sárvaṃ níṣkarad daívyaṃ samahá vṛ́ṣṇyam
Having smitten the head-disease, and (the ills) of the eyes, and of the body—away with them! Kuṣṭha hath expelled them all, the divinely-sent (bane), wholly, and (restored) vigorous strength.
सर दर्द, आँखों की बिमारी और शरीर की बिमारी को मारो। सबको दूर भगाओ। कुष्ठ ने सबको निकाल दिया, जो भी बुरा भेजा गया था, सब गायब कर दिया और ताकत वापस ला दी।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Āṅgirasa tradition (per Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Kuṣṭha; secondarily ‘disease’ as adversary.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh.
Primary: vira
Secondary: adbhuta
