Atharva Veda 2.33.3: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 33, Mantra 3
Sukta 33
हृद॑यात् ते॒ परि॑ क्लो॒म्नो हली॑क्ष्णात् पा॒र्श्वाभ्या॑म्। यक्ष्मं॒ मत॑स्नाभ्यां प्ली॒ह्नो य॒क्नस्ते॒ वि वृ॑हामसि
hṛ́dayāt te pári klómno halī́kṣṇāt pārśvā́bhyām | yakṣmáṃ mátasnādhyāṃ plī́hno yáknas te ví vṛhāmasi
From thy heart, away from thee; from the klóman, from the hālīkṣṇa, from either flank— The yakṣma from the lower trunk, from the spleen, from thy liver, forth do we tear it out.
हृदयात् ते परि—त्वत्तो दूरम्; क्लोम्नः, हलीक्ष्णात्, उभाभ्यां पार्श्वाभ्याम्—मतस्नाभ्यां, प्लीह्नः, यक्नः च—यक्ष्मं ते वि-वृहामसि, बहिर्निष्कृष्य छिन्मः।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras healing lineages; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on anukramaṇī)
Devata: Bhaiṣajya/Apotropaic force against Yakṣma (the disease itself as adversary; healing power of mantra)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (predominant healing-meter; verse shows anuṣṭubh-like cadence)
Primary: vira
Secondary: shanta
