Sukta 39
त्रिः शाम्बु॑भ्यो॒ अङ्गि॑रेभ्य॒स्त्रिरा॑दि॒त्येभ्य॒स्परि॑ । त्रिर्जा॒तो वि॒श्वदे॑वेभ्यः । स कुष्ठो॑ वि॒श्वभे॑षजः सा॒कं सोमे॑न तिष्ठति । त॒क्मानं॒ सर्वं॑ नाशय॒ सर्वा॑श्च यातुधा॒न्यः
tríḥ śā́mbhubhyo áṅgirebhyas trír ādítyebhyaḥ pári | trír jā́to viśvádevebhyaḥ | sá kúṣṭho viśvábheṣajaḥ sā́kaṃ sómena tiṣṭhati | takmā́naṃ sárvaṃ nāśaya sárvāś ca yātudhā́nyaḥ ||
Thrice from the Śambhus, from the Aṅgirases; thrice from about the Ādityas; thrice born from the All-Gods. That Kuṣṭha, the universal medicine, abides together with Soma. Destroy every Takmán-fever, and all the Yātudhānī demonesses.
तीनदा शम्भूंपासून, तीनदा अङ्गिरसांपासून; तीनदा आदित्यांच्या परिघातून; तीनदा विश्वदेवांपासून जन्मलेला. तो कुष्ठ—विश्वभेषज, सर्वऔषध—सोमासह एकत्र स्थित राहतो. तो सर्व तक्मान-ज्वर नष्ट करो, आणि सर्व यातुधानी (राक्षसी) शक्तींनाही नाश करो.
