Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.67

परि वर्त्मानि सर्वत इन्द्रः पूषा च सस्रतुः । मुह्यन्त्व् अद्यामूः सेना अमित्राणां परस्तराम् ॥१॥

pari vartmāni sarvata indraḥ pūṣā ca sasratuḥ | muhyantv adyāmūḥ senā amitrāṇāṃ parastarām ||1||

Everywhere about the routes Indra and Pūshan have gone; let yonder armies of our enemies today be confounded further away.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

मूढा अमित्राश् चरताशीर्षाण इवाहयः । तेषां वो अग्निमूढानाम् इन्द्रो हन्तु वरंवरम् ॥२॥

mūḍhā amitrāś caratāśīrṣāṇa ivāhayaḥ | teṣāṃ vo agnimūḍhānām indro hantu varaṃvaram ||2||

Go about confounded, ye enemies, like headless snakes; of you there, confounded by Agni, let Indra slay each best man (vára).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

ऐषु नह्य वृषाजिनं हरिणस्य भियं कृधि । पराङ् अमित्र एषत्व् अर्वाची गौर् उपेषतु ॥३॥

aiṣu nahya vṛṣājinaṃ hariṇasya bhiyaṃ kṛdhi | parāṅ amitra eṣatv arvācī gaur upeṣatu ||3||

Fasten thou, as bull, the skin upon them; make the fear of the fallow-deer; let the enemy hasten (eṣ) away; let the cow hasten hither to us.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
