Atharva Veda 2.33.1: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 4, Sukta 33, Mantra 1
Sukta 33
यक्ष्मविबर्हणम्। ५ उपरिष्टाद्विराड्बृहती, ६ उष्णिग्गर्भा निचृदनुष्टुप्, ७ पथ्यापङ्क्तिः। अ॒क्षीभ्यां॑ ते॒ नासि॑काभ्यां॒ कर्णा॑भ्यां छुबु॑का॒दधि॑ । यक्ष्मं॑ शीर्ष॒ण्यं ऽ म॒स्तिष्का॑ज्जि॒ह्वाया॒ वि वृ॑हामि ते
akṣī́bhyāṃ te nā́sikābhyāṃ kárṇābhyāṃ chubúkād ádhi | yákṣmaṃ śīrṣaṇyàṃ mastíṣkāj jihvā́yā ví vṛhāmi te
From thine eyes, from thy nostrils, from thine ears, from above the chin— The yákṣma that is head-ensconced, from the brain, from the tongue, I tear it forth from thee.
Từ đôi mắt của ngươi, từ lỗ mũi của ngươi, từ đôi tai của ngươi, từ phía trên cằm— yakṣma (bệnh hao mòn) trú trong đầu ấy, ta xé giật ra khỏi ngươi: khỏi não, khỏi lưỡi.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific ṛṣi not stated in the supplied excerpt)
Devata: Yákṣma (as disease-demon) / healing-extraction force of the Atharvan
Chandas: Noted in the Anukramaṇī for this hymn-cycle: mixed meters; this mantra is commonly treated as anuṣṭubh-like in cadence, but the excerpt indicates a metrical sequence across verses (5–7) and does not explicitly label v.1.
Primary: vira
Secondary: karuna
