Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.6

यो ऽस्मान् ब्रह्मणस् पते ऽदेवो अभिमन्यते । सर्वं तम् रन्धयासि मे यजमानाय सुन्वते ॥१॥

yo 'smān brahmaṇas pate 'devo abhimanyate | sarvaṃ tam randhayāsi me yajamānāya sunvate ||1||

Whatever godless one, O Brahmaṇaspati, plots against us—every such one mayest thou make subject to me the sacrificer, the soma-presser.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यो नः सोम सुशंसिनो दुःशंस आदिदेशति । वज्रेणास्य मुखे जहि स संपिष्टो अपायति ॥२॥

yo naḥ soma suśaṃsino duḥśaṃsa ādideśati | vajreṇāsya mukhe jahi sa saṃpiṣṭo apāyati ||2||

Whatever ill-famed one, O Soma, shall aim at us of good fame, smite upon his face with the thunderbolt; may he go away crushed (sam-piṣ).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यो नः सोमाभिदासति सनाभिर् यश् च निष्ट्यः । अप तस्य बलं तिर महीव द्यौर् वधत्मना ॥३॥

yo naḥ somābhidāsati sanābhir yaś ca niṣṭyaḥ | apa tasya balaṃ tira mahīva dyaur vadhatmanā ||3||

Whoever, O Soma, shall assail us, of the same kindred and also a stranger—draw (tṛ) away his strength, like the great sky, even now (?).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
