Mantra 17
Sukta 96
अक्षीभ्यां ते नासिकाभ्यां कर्णाभ्यां छुबुकादधि । यक्ष्मं शीर्षण्यं मस्तिष्काज्जिह्वाया वि वृहामि ते
akṣī́bhyāṃ te nā́sikābhyāṃ kárṇābhyāṃ chúbukād ádhi | yákṣmaṃ śīrṣaṇyàṃ mastíṣkāj jihvā́yā ví vṛhāmi te
From thine eyes, from thy nostrils, from thine ears, from thy chin—yakṣma, head-seated, from the brain, from the tongue, I tear it forth from thee.
汝の眼より、汝の鼻孔より、汝の耳より、汝の顎より——頭に坐すヤクシュマ（yakṣma）を、脳より、舌より、汝より引き裂き抜き去る。
Rishi: Atharvanic healer-seer tradition (variable attribution).
Devata: Yakṣma (as the targeted disease-demon) / healing power of the Atharvan word.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh
