Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 6.99

अभि त्वेन्द्र वरिमतः पुरा त्वांहूरणाद् धुवे । ह्वयाम्य् उग्रं चेत्तारं पुरुणामानम् एकजम् ॥१॥

abhi tvendra varimataḥ purā tvāṃhūraṇād dhuve | hvayāmy ugraṃ cettāraṃ puruṇāmānam ekajam ||1||

Unto thee, O Indra, on account of width, thee against (purā́) distress I call; I call on the stern corrector, the many-named, sole-born.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

यो अद्य सेन्यो वधो जिघांसन् न उदीरते । इन्द्रस्य तत्र बाहू समन्तं परि दद्मः ॥२॥

yo adya senyo vadho jighāṃsan na udīrate | indrasya tatra bāhū samantaṃ pari dadmaḥ ||2||

The hostile (? sénya) weapon that goes up today, desiring to slay us—in that case we put completely about us Indra's two arms.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

परि दद्म इन्द्रस्य बाहू समन्तं त्रातुस् त्रायतां नः । देव सवितः सोम राजन्त् सुमनसं मा कृणु स्वस्तये ॥३॥

pari dadma indrasya bāhū samantaṃ trātus trāyatāṃ naḥ | deva savitaḥ soma rājant sumanasaṃ mā kṛṇu svastaye ||3||

We put completely about the two arms of Indra the savior; let him save us. God Savitar! king Soma! make thou me well-willing, in order to well-being.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
