krimi saṃhāraka sūktam (yajurveda)

(Krimi Samharaka Suktam in English (IAST))

From Taittiriya Aranyaka, Yajurveda

Also known as atrina tva krime hanmi

The Krimi Samharaka Suktam is an ancient Vedic hymn found in the Taittiriya Aranyaka of the Yajurveda. Dedicated to Agni, the lord of fire, this powerful mantra is traditionally chanted to invoke divine protection against various types of parasites and harmful microorganisms. By invoking the blessings of sages like Atri, Kanva, and Jamadagni, the practitioner seeks to eradicate the sources of illness and pestilence. Beyond its literal interpretation of physical cleansing, the Suktam serves as a spiritual tool to destroy negative influences and impurities within the body and environment, fostering holistic health, purity, and vital energy.
