AVŚ 8.4.16

यो मायातुं यातुधानेत्य् आह यो वा रक्षाः शिचिर् अस्मीत्य् आह । इन्द्रस् तं हन्तु महता वधेन विश्वस्य जन्तोर् अधमस् पदीष्ट ॥१६॥

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Whoever to me that am no sorcerer (áyātu) says "thou sorcerer," or whatever demoniac says "I am pure (çúci)"—let Indra smite him with a great deadly weapon; may he fall lowest of every creature.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
