Sukta 33
ग्री॒वाभ्य॑स्त उ॒ष्णिहा॑भ्यः॒ कीक॑साभ्यो अनू॒क्याऽत्। यक्ष्मं॑ दोष॒ण्य॑१मंसा॑भ्यां बा॒हुभ्यां॒ वि वृ॑हामि ते
grīvā́bhyas te uṣṇíhābhyas kī́kasābhyo anūkyá̄t | yákṣmaṃ doṣaṇyàm aṃsā́bhyāṃ bāhúbhyāṃ ví vṛhāmi te ||
From thy neck, from thy shoulder-parts, from thy ribs, from thy spine,—the wasting-disease, the mischief-working one, with shoulders and with arms I rend away from thee, clean apart.
ତୋର ଗଳାଠାରୁ, କାନ୍ଧର ଭାଗମାନଙ୍କୁଠାରୁ, ପାଜରାଠାରୁ, ପିଠିର ମେରୁଦଣ୍ଡଠାରୁ— କ୍ଷୟକାରୀ, ଅପକାରକାରୀ ଯକ୍ଷ୍ମକୁ, କାନ୍ଧ ଓ ବାହୁଦ୍ୱାରା ମୁଁ ତୋଠାରୁ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଭାବେ ଛିଣ୍ଡି ଅଲଗା କରୁଛି।
