Atharvaveda 5.4

Thou that wast born on the mountains, strongest of plants, come, O kúṣṭha, effacer (-nā́çana) of takmán, effacing the fever (takmán) from here.

On an eagle-bearing (-súvana) mountain, born from the snowy one (himávant); they go to [it] with riches, having heard [of it], for they know the effacer of fever.

The açvatthá, seat of the gods, in the third heaven from here; there the gods won the kúṣṭha, the sight (cákṣaṇa) of immortality (amṛ́ta).

A golden ship, of golden tackle (-bándhana), moved about in the sky; there the gods won the kúṣṭha, the flower of immortality.

Golden were the roads, the oars golden, the ships were golden by which they brought out the kúṣṭha.

This man of mine, O kúṣṭha—him bring, him relieve (nis-kṛ), him also make free from disease for me.

From the gods art thou born; of Soma art thou set as companion; do thou be gracious to my breath, out-breathing, sight here.

Born in the north from the snowy [mountain], thou art conducted to people (jána) in the eastern [quarter]; there have they shared out the highest names of the kúṣṭha.

Highest by name, O kúṣṭha, art thou; highest by name thy father; both do thou efface all yákṣma, and do thou make the fever sapless.

Head-disease, attack (? upahatyā́), evil of the eyes, of the body—all that may kúṣṭha relieve, verily a divine virility (vṛ́ṣṇya).
