Shukla Yajur Veda — Adhyaya 16, Mantra 49
Rishi: Traditionally connected with the Rudra-hymnic stream; in Śukla-Yajurveda transmission often left as anukramaṇī-tradition dependent.
Devata: Rudra (as Śiva, the healing form).
Chandas: Mixed/prose-like yajus-formula with metrical cadence; often treated as yajus rather than strict ṛk-meter in ritual recitation.
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
या ते॑ रुद्र शि॒वा त॒नूः शि॒वा वि॒श्वाहा॑ भेष॒जी । शि॒वा रु॒तस्य॑ भेष॒जी तया॑ नो मृड जी॒वसे॑

Translation
ருத்ரா! உன் அந்த சிவ (கல்யாணகரமான) தனு—எப்போதும் சிகிச்சையளிக்கும், மருந்து-சொரூபமானது—ருதத்தின் அந்த சிவ மருந்து; அதனால் எங்களுக்கு அருள் செய், நாம் வாழ்வதற்காக.
