Sukta 8
ये अङ्गा॑नि॒ म॒दय॑न्ति॒ यक्ष्मा॑सो रोप॒णास्तव॑ । यक्ष्मा॑णां॒ सर्वे॑षां वि॒षं निर॑वोचम॒हं त्वत्
yé aṅgā́ni madáyanti yákṣmāso ropaṇā́stava | yákṣmāṇā́ṃ sárveṣāṃ viṣáṃ níravocam aháṃ tvát ||
The yákṣmas that madden the limbs—thy healers are they: the poison of all the yákṣmas, from thee, I have spoken forth and away.
ಯಾವ ಯಕ್ಷ್ಮಗಳು ಅಂಗಗಳನ್ನು ಉನ್ಮತ್ತಗೊಳಿಸುತ್ತವೋ—ಅವುಗಳೇ ನಿನ್ನ ರೋಪಣಗಳು (ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸಕರು); ಎಲ್ಲ ಯಕ್ಷ್ಮಗಳ ವಿಷವನ್ನು, ನಿನ್ನಿಂದ, ನಾನು ಉಚ್ಚರಿಸಿ ಹೊರಗೆ ತಳ್ಳಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
