Atharva Veda 19.39.6: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 39, Mantra 6
Sukta 39
अ॒श्व॒त्थो दे॑व॒सद॑नस्तृ॒तीय॑स्यामि॒तो दि॒वि। तत्रा॒मृत॑स्य॒ चक्ष॑णं॒ ततः॒ कुष्ठो॑ अजायत । स कुष्ठो॑ वि॒श्वभे॑षजः सा॒कं सोमे॑न तिष्ठति । त॒क्मानं॒ सर्वं॑ नाशय॒ सर्वा॑श्च यातुधा॒न्यः
aśvatthó devásadanas tṛtī́yasyāmitó diví | tatrā́mṛ́tasya cákṣaṇaṃ tatáḥ kúṣṭho ajāyata | sá kúṣṭho viśvá-bheṣajaḥ sā́kaṃ sómena tiṣṭhati | takmā́naṃ sárvaṃ nāśaya sárvāś ca yātudhānyàḥ
The Aśvattha, a seat of Gods, in the third, the boundless heaven—there is the visible station of Immortality: thence Kuṣṭha was born. That Kuṣṭha, the universal remedy, standeth together with Soma. Destroy thou every fever, and all the Yātudhānī witches.
ຕົ້ນອັສວັດຖະ, ບ່ອນປະທັບຂອງພະເຈົ້າ, ຢູ່ໃນສະຫວັນຊັ້ນທີສາມອັນບໍ່ມີຂອບເຂດ, ບ່ອນນັ້ນເປັນທີ່ປະຈັກຂອງອະມະຕະ: ຈາກບ່ອນນັ້ນ ກຸສຖະໄດ້ເກີດຂຶ້ນ. ກຸສຖະນັ້ນ, ຢາຮັກສາທຸກພະຍາດ, ຍືນຢູ່ຮ່ວມກັບໂສມະ. ຈົ່ງທໍາລາຍໄຂ້ທຸກຊະນິດ ແລະ ແມ່ມົດຍາດທຸກຄົນ.
