Mantra 9
Sukta 30
अङ्गभेदो अङ्गज्वरो यश्च ते हृदयामयः । यक्ष्मः श्येन इव प्रापप्तद् वाचा साढः परस्तराम्
aṅgabhédo aṅgajvaró yáś ca te hṛdayāmayáḥ | yakṣmáḥ śyéná iva prá-āpaptad vācā́ sāḍháḥ parastarā́m
The limb-rending pain, the fever of the limbs, and whatsoever heart-sickness is thine—yakṣma, like a hawk, hath swooped upon thee: by our speech, subdued, be it driven farther away.
ಅಂಗಭೇದ—ಅಂಗಗಳನ್ನು ಚೀರುವ ನೋವು, ಅಂಗಜ್ವರ, ಮತ್ತು ನಿನಗೆ ಇರುವ ಯಾವ ಹೃದಯರೋಗವೋ—ಯಕ್ಷ್ಮನು ಗಿಡುಗನಂತೆ ನಿನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಜಿಗಿದು ಬಿದ್ದಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ವಾಣಿಯಿಂದ ವಶಗೊಂಡು, ಅದು ಇನ್ನೂ ದೂರಕ್ಕೆ ಓಡಿಹೋಗಲಿ.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for yakṣma-healing); specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on Anukramaṇī.
Devata: Bhaiṣajya/Agni-Sūrya complex in the hymn; here primarily the expulsion of Yakṣma (personified disease).
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; confirm by pada count in critical edition).
