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.
Из твоей шеи, из плечевых частей, из рёбер, из позвоночника — Якшму, истощающую, вредоносную: из плеч и из рук я вырываю её из тебя, отделяя начисто.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (healing seer; commonly transmitted without a single prominent ṛṣi-name in practical recitation contexts for this hymn)
Devata: Yákṣma (as the targeted personified malady); implicitly the healing power of the Atharvan-priest’s brahman
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (4 pādas of ~8 syllables; with Atharvanic flexibility)
Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
