Sukta 4
इमं मे कुष्ठ पूरुषं तमा वह तं निष्कुरु । तमु मे अगदं कृधि
imáṃ me kúṣṭha pū́ruṣaṃ tám ā́ vaha táṃ níṣkuru | tám u me ágadaṃ kṛdhi ||
This man of mine, O Kuṣṭha—bring him hither; him do thou make free (drive it out): and him, for me, do thou render an antidote.
ਹੇ ਕੁਸ਼ਠ, ਮੇਰੇ ਇਸ ਪੁਰਖ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਥੇ ਲਿਆ; ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਬਾਹਰ ਕੱਢ ਕੇ ਮੁਕਤ ਕਰ। ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਲਈ ਮੇਰੇ ਵਾਸਤੇ ਅਗਦ—ਵਿਸ਼ਹਰ ਔਖਧ—ਬਣਾ।
