amúkthā́ yákṣmād duritā́d avadyā́d drúhaḥ pā́śād grāhyā́ś codámukthāḥ | evā́háṃ tvāṃ kṣetriyā́n nírṛtyā jā́miśaṃsād drúho muñcā́mi váruṇasya pā́śāt || anā́gasaṃ bráhmaṇā tvā kṛṇomi śivḗ te dyā́vā-pṛthivī́ ubhḗ stām ||
Loosed art thou from wasting-sickness, from evil hap, from blameful fault; from Druh’s bond, from the Seizer’s grasp—yea, wholly loosed art thou. Thus I release thee from the field-born ill, from Nirṛti, from the kinsman’s curse, from treacherous harm; I loose thee from the noose of Varuṇa. Guiltless by sacred spell I make thee: auspicious for thee let Heaven and Earth, both twain, stand fast.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for roga-mocana hymns; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī)
Devata: Primarily the healing/releasing power of Brahman (mantra), with Varuṇa (as binder) and Dyāvāpṛthivī as invoked authorities; adversaries include Yákṣma, Grahī, Nirṛti, Druh.
Chandas: Predominantly Anuṣṭubh (with Atharvanic cadence; pāda-structure consistent with 8-syllable quarters, allowing minor Saṃhitā irregularities)
