aṅgabhédo aṅgajvaró yáś ca te hṛdayāmayáḥ | yakṣmáḥ śyéná iva prá-āpaptad vācā́ sāḍháḥ parastarā́m

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

The limb-rending pain, the fever of the limbs, and whatsoever heart-sickness is thine—yakṣma, like a hawk, hath swooped upon thee: by our speech, subdued, be it driven farther away.

Translation

Nỗi đau xé rách các chi, cơn sốt nơi các chi, và bất cứ bệnh tật nào ở tim thuộc về ngươi—yakṣma đã lao sà xuống như chim ưng. Bởi lời nói của chúng ta, hãy bị khuất phục và bị xua đuổi đi xa hơn nữa.

Attribution

Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages for yakṣma-healing); specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on Anukramaṇī.

Devata: Bhaiṣajya/Agni-Sūrya complex in the hymn; here primarily the expulsion of Yakṣma (personified disease).

Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; confirm by pada count in critical edition).
