Roganāśa (रोगनाश) refers to “destruction of diseases”, representing one of the weapons (attributes) of Goddess Kubjikā, according to the Manthānabhairavatantra, a vast sprawling work that belongs to a corpus of Tantric texts concerned with the worship of the goddess Kubjikā.—Accordingly, “(Now) I will tell (you about) the great weapons of that (goddess) Kubjikā. [...] (One) attains (ultimate) reality by means of the trident and Māyā is destroyed by means of the wheel. All diseases are destroyed [i.e., sarva-roganāśa] by the thunderbolt while the goad is considered to be (the means to attract and) control. The enemy is destroyed by the arrow. The dagger is the avoidance of obstacles. Wealth (lakṣmī) is acquired by means of the severed head and the eight yogic powers by the ascetic’s staff”.
