For relief from yákṣma

The varaṇá, this divine forest-tree, shall ward off (vāray-); the yákṣma that has entered into this man—that have the gods warded off.

English · William Dwight Whitney

With the word (vácas) of Indra, of Mitra, and of Varuṇa, with the voice (vā́c) of all the gods, do we ward off thy yákṣma.

English · William Dwight Whitney

As Vritra stopped (stambh) these waters [when] going in all directions, so, by means of Agni Vāiçvānara, do I ward off thy yákṣma.
