Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 8.4.21

AVŚ 8.4.21

इन्द्रो यातूनाम् अभवत् पराशरो हविर्मथीनाम् अभ्य् आविवासताम् । अभीद् उ शक्रः परशुर् यथा वनं पात्रेव भिन्दन्त् सत एतु रक्षसः ॥२१॥

indro yātūnām abhavat parāśaro havirmathīnām abhy āvivāsatām | abhīd u śakraḥ paraśur yathā vanaṃ pātreva bhindant sata etu rakṣasaḥ ||21||

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

Indra was the crusher-away of the familiar demons (yātú), of the oblation-disturbers, of them who strive to win upon [it]; let the mighty one (çakrá) attack them that are demoniacs as an ax the woods, splitting [them] like vessels.
