Atharva Veda 6.127.3: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 13, Sukta 127, Mantra 3
Sukta 127
यो अङ्ग्यो॒ यः कर्ण्यो॒ यो अ॒क्ष्योर्वि॒सल्प॑कः । वि वृ॑हामो वि॒सल्प॑कं विद्र॒धं हृ॑दयाम॒यम्। परा॒ तमज्ञा॑तं॒ यक्ष्म॑मध॒राञ्चं॑ सुवामसि
yó aṅgyò yáḥ karṇyò yó akṣyór visálpakaḥ | ví vṛhā́mo visálpakaṃ vidradháṃ hṛdayāmayám | párā tám ajñātáṃ yákṣmam adharā́ñcaṃ suvāmasi
What visalpaka is in the limbs, what in the ears, what in the eyes—we tear away the visalpaka, the abscess, the heart-sickness. That unknown Yakṣma we drive far off, downward do we send it.
അംഗങ്ങളിൽ ഉള്ള വിസൽപക, ചെവികളിൽ ഉള്ളത്, കണ്ണുകളിൽ ഉള്ളത്—ആ വിസൽപകത്തെ, വിദ്രധം (പുണ്ണ്/അബ്സസ്)നെ, ഹൃദയരോഗത്തെ ഞങ്ങൾ പിഴുതെറിഞ്ഞ് നീക്കുന്നു. ആ അജ്ഞാത യക്ഷ്മത്തെ ദൂരത്തേക്ക് തുരത്തുന്നു; അതിനെ താഴോട്ടു അയക്കുന്നു.
