Sukta 8
वि॒स॒ल्पस्य॑ विद्र॒धस्य॑ वातीका॒रस्य॑ वाल॒जेः । यक्ष्मा॑णां॒ सर्वे॑षां वि॒षं निर॑वोचम॒हं त्वत्
ví-salpasya vidrádhasya vātīkārásya vālajéḥ | yákṣmāṇā́m sárveṣāṃ víṣaṃ nír avocam aháṃ tvát ||
From thee—of visalpa, of abscess, of the vāta-maker, of the hair-bred malady; of all consumptions—have I spoken the poison forth and away.
Daripada engkau—daripada visalpa, daripada bisul/abses, daripada pembuat vāta, daripada penyakit yang timbul daripada rambut; daripada segala yakṣma (penyakit susut/consumption)—racunnya telah aku ucapkan keluar dan menjauh darimu.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (exact r̥ṣi attribution varies in ancillary lists for AV 9.8)
Devata: Roga/Yakṣma and allied disease-agents (as adversaries); implicitly the healing power of mantra
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant in healing charms; this verse is anuṣṭubh-like in cadence)
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
