Sukta 33
अ॒स्थिभ्य॑स्ते म॒ज्जभ्यः॒ स्नाव॑भ्यो ध॒मनि॑भ्यः । यक्ष्मं॑ पा॒णिभ्या॑म॒ङ्गुलि॑भ्यो न॒खेभ्यो॒ वि वृ॑हामि ते
ásthibhyas te májjabhyáḥ snā́vabhyo dhamánibhyaḥ | yákṣmaṃ pāṇíbhyām aṅgulíbhyo nakhébhyo ví vṛhāmi te ||
From thy bones, from thy marrows, from thy sinews, from thy pulsating vessels—from thy hands, from thy fingers, from thy nails—thy wasting yákṣma do I rend away, plucking it forth from thee.
अस्थिभ्यः ते, मज्जभ्यः, स्नावभ्यः, धमनिभ्यः; पाणिभ्याम्, अङ्गुलिभ्यः, नखेभ्यः च—यक्ष्मं ते वि-वृहामि, बहिर्निष्कृष्य छिन्मि।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for bhaiṣajya hymns; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī lists).
Devata: Yákṣma (as personified disease) as the direct target; implicitly the healing power of Atharvanic speech.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (4 pādas of 8 syllables; typical of AV healing charms)
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
