Atharva Veda 9.8.10: Kanda 9, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 8, Mantra 10

Sukta 8

आसो॑ ब॒लासो॒ भव॑तु॒ मूत्रं॑ भवत्वा॒मय॑त्। यक्ष्मा॑णां॒ सर्वे॑षां वि॒षं निर॑वोचम॒हं त्वत्

ā́só balā́só bhávatu mū́traṃ bhavatv-ā́mayát | yákṣmāṇā́ṃ sárveṣāṃ víṣaṃ nír avocam aháṃ tvát ||

Let this balāsa, this phlegm, become urine; let it, from disease, be turned thereto. From thee I have spoken forth the poison of all the yakṣmās.

ఈ బలాసం (కఫం) మూత్రంగా మారుగాక; వ్యాధిరూపం నుండి మారి అదే దిశగా ప్రవహించుగాక. నీ నుండి అన్ని యక్ష్మాల విషాన్ని నేను ఉచ్చరించి బయటకు తోలివేశాను.
