From him, on every side, consumption fleeth away, as wild beasts, as horses, rush in flight—when guggulu, Sindhu-salt, or sea-born salt thou admixest (therewith).
Rishi: Atharvanic healer tradition (specific r̥ṣi uncertain without Anukramaṇī).
Devata: Bheṣaja (guggulu + salt) as anti-yákṣma power.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like.
