Atharva Veda 5.4.9: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 4, Mantra 9
Sukta 4
उ॒त्त॒मो नाम॑ कुष्ठस्युत्त॒मो नाम॑ ते पि॒ता। यक्ष्मं॑ च॒ सर्वं॑ ना॒शय॑ त॒क्मानं॑ चार॒सं कृ॑धि
uttamó nā́ma kuṣṭhasyóttamó nā́ma te pitā́ | yákṣmaṃ ca sárvaṃ nāśaya tákmānaṃ cārásaṃ kṛ́dhi
Supreme is the Name of Kuṣṭha; supreme the Name—thy Father. Destroy thou every yakṣma; the takman too—make thou the ārasa (malady) to cease.
कुष्ठ का नाम सबसे बड़ा है। तुम्हारे पापा का नाम भी सबसे बड़ा है। सारी बिमारी को खत्म करो। बुखार और बुरी बिमारी को भी ठीक करो।
Rishi: Atharvanic/Āṅgirasa tradition (per Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Kuṣṭha (and diseases as adversarial entities).
