Vedic Reference
EnglishYakṣma in the Rigveda^1 and the Atharvaveda^2 frequently
denotes ‘illness, ’ in general, perhaps as rendering the body
emaciated. A hundred kinds of Yakṣma are referred to in the
Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā, ^3 and a-yakṣma in the Kāṭhaka Saṃhitā, ^4
denotes ‘free from disease.’ In the Yajurveda Saṃhitās^5 an
account is given of the origin of Yakṣma, which is distinguished
as of three kinds — Rāja-yakṣma, ‘royal Yakṣma, ’ Pāpa-yakṣma,
‘evil Yakṣma, ’ and Jāyenya, most probably ‘syphilis.’ The
second of the series is elsewhere unknown, and can hardly be
defined, for it merely means ‘serious or deadly disease.’ Cf.
also Ajñātayakṣma.
