Atharva Veda 6.127.3: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 13, Sukta 127, Mantra 3
Sukta 127
यो अङ्ग्यो॒ यः कर्ण्यो॒ यो अ॒क्ष्योर्वि॒सल्प॑कः । वि वृ॑हामो वि॒सल्प॑कं विद्र॒धं हृ॑दयाम॒यम्। परा॒ तमज्ञा॑तं॒ यक्ष्म॑मध॒राञ्चं॑ सुवामसि
yó aṅgyò yáḥ karṇyò yó akṣyór visálpakaḥ | ví vṛhā́mo visálpakaṃ vidradháṃ hṛdayāmayám | párā tám ajñātáṃ yákṣmam adharā́ñcaṃ suvāmasi
What visalpaka is in the limbs, what in the ears, what in the eyes—we tear away the visalpaka, the abscess, the heart-sickness. That unknown Yakṣma we drive far off, downward do we send it.
四肢にあるヴィサルパカ（visalpaka）、耳にあるもの、眼にあるもの——われらはそのヴィサルパカを引き裂き除き、腫瘍（膿瘍）を除き、心の病を除く。知られざるヤクシュマ（yakṣma）をわれらは遠くへ追い払い、下方へと送り去る。
