Atharva Veda 6.14

Against the balā́sa

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

asthisraṃsaṃ parusraṃsam āsthitam hṛdayāmayam balāsaṃ sarvaṃ nāśayāṅgeṣṭhā yaś ca parvasu

English · William Dwight Whitney

Against the balā́sa

The bone-dissolving, joint-dissolving, settled (ā́sthita) heart disease, all the balā́sa, cause thou to disappear, that is seated in the limbs and in the joints.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

nir balāsaṃ balāsinaḥ kṣiṇomi muṣkaraṃ yathā chinadmy asya bandhanaṃ mūlam urvārvā iva

English · William Dwight Whitney

The balā́sa of him that has balā́sa I destroy like a muṣkará; I cut its bond like the root of a gourd.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

nir balāsetaḥ pra patāśuṅgaḥ śiśuko yathā atho ita iva hāyano 'pa drāhy avīrahā

English · William Dwight Whitney

Fly out forth from here, O balā́sa, like a young āçuṁgá; then, like the [last] year's bulrush, scud away, innocuous to heroes.
