Sukta 12
यदि॑ क॒र्तं प॑ति॒त्वा सं॑श॒श्रे यदि॒ वाश्मा॒ प्रहृ॑तो ज॒घान॑ । ऋ॒भू रथ॑स्ये॒वाङ्गा॑नि॒ सं द॑ध॒त् परु॑षा॒ परुः॑
yádi kártam patitvā́ sáṃśaśre yádi vā́śmā prahr̥tó jaghā́na | r̥bhū́ rathásyevā́ṅgāni sáṃ dadhát parúṣā́ parúḥ
If, by a fall, a cut hath closed and clung together; if a stone, hurled forth, hath smitten (the man):—as the R̥bhus set in order the members of a chariot, so may they fit together the limbs, joint upon joint.
Jika kerana jatuh, luka itu tertutup dan melekat; jika batu yang dilempar telah menghentam (orang itu):—sebagaimana para Ṛbhu menyusun bahagian-bahagian kereta, demikianlah semoga mereka merapatkan anggota-anggota tubuh, sendi demi sendi.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition; associated with healing specialists (exact r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī traditions for this section).
