Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·6·6.65
अव मन्युर् अवायताव बाहू मनोयुजा । पराशर त्वं तेषाम् पराञ्चं शुष्मम् अर्दयाधा नो रयिम् आ कृधि ॥१॥
ava manyur avāyatāva bāhū manoyujā | parāśara tvaṃ teṣām parāñcaṃ śuṣmam ardayādhā no rayim ā kṛdhi ||1||
Down (áva) [be] the fury, down the drawn [arrow], down the two mind-yoked arms. O demolisher (parāçará), do thou vex (ard) away the vehemence (çúṣma) of them; then get us wealth.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
निर्हस्तेभ्यो नैर्हस्तम् यं देवाः शरुम् अस्यथ । वृश्चामि शत्रूणां बाहून् अनेन हविषा ऽहम् ॥२॥
nirhastebhyo nairhastam yaṃ devāḥ śarum asyatha | vṛścāmi śatrūṇāṃ bāhūn anena haviṣā 'ham ||2||
The handless shaft, O gods, which ye cast at the handless ones—I hew [off] the arms of the foes with this oblation.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
इन्द्रश् चकार प्रथमं नैर्हस्तम् असुरेभ्यः । जयन्तु सत्वानो मम स्थिरेणेन्द्रेण मेदिना ॥३॥
indraś cakāra prathamaṃ nairhastam asurebhyaḥ | jayantu satvāno mama sthireṇendreṇa medinā ||3||
Indra made the handless one first for the Asuras. Let my warriors conquer by means of stanch Indra as ally (medín).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
