Shukla Yajur Veda — Adhyaya 12, Mantra 83
Rishi: Traditionally associated with the Yājñavalkya transmission; individual ṛṣi attribution for this healing cluster is not uniformly fixed across padānukramaṇīs.
Devata: Oṣadhayaḥ (Medicinal Plants) / Niṣkṛti (Expulsion as a power).
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (mixed; many VS healing formulas align to triṣṭubh/jagatī patterns).
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
इ॒ष्कृ॑ति॒र्नाम॑ वो मा॒ताऽथो॑ यू॒यᳪ स्थ॒ निष्कृ॑तीः । सी॒राः प॑त॒त्रिणी॑ स्थन॒ यदा॒मय॑ति॒ निष्कृ॑थ
Transliteration
iṣkṛ́tir nā́ma vo mātā́ ’tho yūyáṃ stha níṣkṛtīḥ | sīrā́ḥ patatríṇīḥ stha na yád ā́mayati níṣkṛtha ||
Translation
‘ನಿಷ್ಕೃತಿ’ (ಮುಕ್ತಿ/ಉದ್ಧಾರ) ನಿಮ್ಮ ಮಾತೆಯ ಹೆಸರಾಗಿದೆ; ಮತ್ತು ನೀವು ನಿಜವಾಗಿ ‘ನಿಷ್ಕೃತಿಗಳು’—ಹೊರಹಾಕುವವರು—ಆಗಿದ್ದೀರಿ. ನೀವು ಸೀರಾಃ (ಹಲದ ರೇಖೆಗಳು/ಕಂದಕಗಳು), ನೀವು ಪತತ್ರಿಣೀ (ರೆಕ್ಕೆಗಳಿರುವವರು); ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಪೀಡಿಸುವುದನ್ನು ಹೊರಕ್ಕೆ ತಳ್ಳಿರಿ.
