Atharva Veda 5.30.16: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 30, Mantra 16
Sukta 30
इ॒यम॒न्तर्व॒दति जि॒ह्वा ब॒द्धा प॑निष्प॒दा। त्वया॒ यक्ष्मं॒ निर॑वोचं श॒तं रोपी॑श्च त॒क्मनः॑
iyám antár vadati jihvā́ baddhā́ paṇí-padā́ | tváyā yakṣmáṃ nír avocaṃ śatáṃ ropī́ś ca tákmanáḥ
This (charm) speaks from within; the tongue is bound, moving with stealthy step. By thee have I spoken forth and expelled consumption, and a hundred creeping maladies, and fever.
यह मंत्र अंदर से बोलता है। जैसे कोई चुपके से चलता है। मैं तुमसे कह रहा हूँ, यह बीमारी भाग गई। सौ रोग जो रेंगते थे, वो भी गायब हो गए। बुखार भी चला गया।
