यो अङ्ग्यो॒ यः कर्ण्यो॒ यो अ॒क्ष्योर्वि॒सल्प॑कः । वि वृ॑हामो वि॒सल्प॑कं विद्र॒धं हृ॑दयाम॒यम्। परा॒ तमज्ञा॑तं॒ यक्ष्म॑मध॒राञ्चं॑ सुवामसि

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 6.127.3

IAST Transliteration

yó aṅgyò yáḥ karṇyò yó akṣyór visálpakaḥ | ví vṛhā́mo visálpakaṃ vidradháṃ hṛdayāmayám | párā tám ajñātáṃ yákṣmam adharā́ñcaṃ suvāmasi

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

What visalpaka is in the limbs, what in the ears, what in the eyes—we tear away the visalpaka, the abscess, the heart-sickness. That unknown Yakṣma we drive far off, downward do we send it.

Translation

วิสัลปกะ (visalpaka) ที่อยู่ในอวัยวะทั้งหลาย ที่อยู่ในหู ที่อยู่ในตา—เราฉีกถอนวิสัลปกะนั้น ฉีกถอนฝีหนอง และโรคแห่งหัวใจ. ยักษฺมะ (yakṣma) อันไม่เป็นที่รู้จักนั้น เราขับไล่ให้ไกลออกไป และส่งลงสู่เบื้องล่างให้พ้นไป.
