Atharva Veda · Chapter 5.4

yo giriṣvajāyathā vīrudhāṃ balavattamaḥ /
kuṣṭhehi takmanāśana takmānaṃ nāśayann itaḥ

suparṇasuvane girau jātaṃ himavataspari /
dhanairabhi śrutvā yanti vidurhi takmanāśanam

aśvattho devasadanastṛtīyasyāmito divi /
tatrāmṛtasya cakṣaṇaṃ devāḥ kuṣṭhamavanvata

hiraṇyayī nauracaraddhiraṇyabandhanā divi /
tatrāmṛtasya puṣpaṃ devāḥ kuṣṭhamavanvata

hiraṇyayāḥ panthāna āsann aritrāṇi hiraṇyayā /
nāvo hiraṇyayīrāsan yābhiḥ kuṣṭhaṃ nirāvahan

imaṃ me kuṣṭha pūruṣaṃ tamā vaha taṃ niṣkuru /
tamu me agadaṃ kṛdhi

devebhyo adhi jāto'si somasyāsi sakhā hitaḥ /
sa prāṇāya vyānāya cakṣuṣe me asmai mṛḍa

udaṅjāto himavataḥ sa prācyāṃ nīyase janam /
tatra kuṣṭhasya nāmānyuttamāni vi bhejire

uttamo nāma kuṣṭhasyuttamo nāma te pitā /
yakṣmaṃ ca sarvaṃ nāśaya takmānaṃ cārasaṃ kṛdhi

śīrṣāmayamupahatyāmakṣyostanvo rapaḥ /
kuṣṭhastatsarvaṃ niṣkaraddaivaṃ samaha vṛṣṇyam
