Sukta 22
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (attributed within the Atharvan corpus; specific r̥ṣi assignment varies by anukramaṇī tradition for this hymn).
Devata: Āyus (Long Life) / Varṇa (healthy complexion) as functional ‘deities’; implicitly the healing power resident in the charm.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant Atharvanic śloka-meter style)

Frequently Asked Questions
It targets harimā́—‘yellowness’ associated with jaundice/weakness and inauspicious pallor—and seeks to restore a stable, healthy complexion and long life.
Yellow is treated as the disease-sign to be transferred out, while red (rohitá) is installed as the counter-sign of health and vitality, ritually ‘encircling’ the patient as protection.
The hymn uses transference: the practitioner symbolically deposits the patient’s harimā́ into plant receptacles and turmeric-yellow media, so the affliction leaves the body and is ‘laid down and away’ elsewhere.
