Sukta 87
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified in the supplied excerpt)
Devata: Rudra (immanent in Agni, Waters, Herbs)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh
この一頌のトリシュトゥブ（Triṣṭubh）讃歌は、ルドラを、アグニ（火）・水・治癒の薬草および蔓性植物に遍在する神的力として同定する。唱誦者が、諸世界を「整え配置した」宇宙の秩序者としてルドラを認知することで、その荒ぶる力を鎮め、水と植物薬の治癒力を正当化し、作動させる。このマントラはŚānti（鎮静・安寧）の公式として、潜在的に苛烈なルドラを、自然の媒体を通して働く内在の癒し手へと転化させる。

Frequently Asked Questions
It teaches that Rudra pervades fire, waters, and medicinal plants; by offering reverence to him there, the healer empowers those substances to cure safely and effectively.
Because the hymn treats healing as a coordinated action of nature’s media—fire transforms, water cleanses/carries, and herbs heal—each made potent by Rudra’s indwelling presence.
Recite the mantra over clean water and the chosen herbs, then sprinkle or give the water and apply the herbs as treatment, ending with the attitude of ‘namo’ (pacification) toward Rudra/Agni.
