pippalī́ kṣíptabheṣajy ù́3tátividdhabheṣajī́ | tā́m devā́ḥ sám akalpayan níyáṃ jī́vitavā́ álam ||
Pippalī is a medicament for him that is smitten down, yea, a medicament for him that is sorely pierced. Her did the Gods duly constitute: this one is sufficient, in very truth, for life.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for bhaiṣajya hymns; exact r̥ṣi ascription varies by anukramaṇī).
Devata: Pippalī as personified Bhaiṣajya; secondarily the Devas as ordainers of the remedy.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; common for AV healing verses)
