अग्निर् नः शत्रून् प्रत्य् एतु विद्वान् प्रतिदहन्न् अभिशस्तिम् अरातिम् । स सेनां मोहयतु परेषां निर्हस्तांश् च कृणवज् जातवेदाः ॥१॥
agnir naḥ śatrūn praty etu vidvān pratidahann abhiśastim arātim | sa senāṃ mohayatu pareṣāṃ nirhastāṃś ca kṛṇavaj jātavedāḥ ||1||
Let Agni, knowing, go against our foes, burning against the imprecator, the niggard; let him confound (mohaya-) the army of our adversaries (pára); and may Jātavedas make them handless.
yūyam ugrā maruta īdṛśe sthābhi preta mṛṇata sahadhvam | amīmṛṇan vasavo nāthitā ime agnir hy eṣāṃ dūtaḥ pratyetu vidvān ||2||
Ye, O Maruts, are formidable for such a plight; go forward upon [them], kill, overcome! The Vasus have killed [them]; suppliant [are] these; for let Agni, their messenger, go against [their foes], knowing.
Impelled, O Indra, forwards (? pravátā) by thy (two) bays—let thy thunderbolt go forth, slaughtering (pra-mṛ) the foes; smite the on-coming, the following, the fleeing (párāñc); scatter their actual intent.
