Sukta 127
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (exact r̥ṣi not specified in the provided input; commonly anonymous in AV medical charms)
Devata: Oṣadhi/Vanaspati (medicinal plant as deity-like agent); secondarily the expulsion of Yakṣma and allied diseases
Chandas: Mixed/irregular (medical charms often show non-R̥gvedic regularity; exact meter requires full pada-count verification)
Himne penyembuhan Atharvanik yang ringkas ini ialah jampi perubatan langsung yang memerintahkan Yakṣma (penyakit susut/merana) serta keadaan morbid yang berkaitan—abses (vidradha), balāsa (kahak/lendir), keradangan “merah”, dan visalpaka (ruam yang merebak)—agar dihapuskan sepenuhnya tanpa berbaki. Himne ini memperkasa tumbuhan ubatan (Oṣadhi/Vanaspati) dan penawar bernama cīpudru untuk “mencabut” penyakit dari tapak-tapak tubuh tertentu serta menghalau Yakṣma yang tersembunyi (ajñāta) ke bawah dan jauh sekali.
Mantras
Mantra 1
यक्ष्मनाशनम्। वि॒द्र॒धस्य॑ ब॒लास॑स्य॒ लोहि॑तस्य वनस्पते । वि॒सल्प॑कस्योषधे॒ मोच्छि॑षः पिशि॒तं च॒न
Mantera untuk membinasakan Yakṣma. Terhadap bisul/abses, terhadap kahak balāsa, terhadap penyakit merah—wahai Penguasa Rimba (vanaspati); terhadap visalpaka—wahai Oṣadhi (tumbuhan ubat)—jangan tinggalkan sisa, jangan tinggal sedikit daging pun.
Mantra 2
यौ ते॑ बलास॒ तिष्ठ॑तः॒ कक्षे॑ मु॒ष्कावप॑श्रितौ । वेदा॒हं तस्य॑ भेष॒जं ची॒पुद्रु॑रभि॒चक्ष॑णम्
Dua yang itu milikmu, wahai Balāsa, yang teguh berdiri—bersarang di ketiak, berpaut pada buah zakar—aku mengetahui ubatnya: Cīpudru, yang khasiatnya nyata dan menyelidik.
Mantra 3
यो अङ्ग्यो॒ यः कर्ण्यो॒ यो अ॒क्ष्योर्वि॒सल्प॑कः । वि वृ॑हामो वि॒सल्प॑कं विद्र॒धं हृ॑दयाम॒यम्। परा॒ तमज्ञा॑तं॒ यक्ष्म॑मध॒राञ्चं॑ सुवामसि
Apa jua visalpaka yang ada pada anggota-anggota tubuh, yang pada telinga, yang pada mata—kami cabut dan koyakkan visalpaka itu: bisul/abses itu, penyakit yang menimpa jantung. Yakṣma yang tidak dikenal itu kami halau jauh; ke bawah kami menghantarnya.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yakṣma is a wasting, lingering disease-category in Atharvavedic medicine, often treated as a harmful force that must be expelled—especially when it is ‘unknown’ (ajñāta) or hidden in the body.
In the Atharvaveda, medicinal plants are personified as living healers whose power can be invoked by mantra; the herb is treated as an agent that searches out illness and removes it.
The hymn combines (1) naming and locating the disorder, (2) activating a specific remedy (cīpudru), and (3) a forceful ‘tearing out’ and banishing of disease—sending it downward and far away so it cannot remain or return.
