RV 1.31.6

त्वम् अग्ने वृजिनवर्तनिं नरं सक्मन् पिपर्षि विदथे विचर्षणे । यः शूरसाता परितक्म्ये धने दभ्रेभिश् चित् समृता हंसि भूयसः ॥

tvam agne vṛjinavartaniṃ naraṃ sakman piparṣi vidathe vicarṣaṇe | yaḥ śūrasātā paritakmye dhane dabhrebhiś cit samṛtā haṃsi bhūyasaḥ ||

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

Agni, thou savest in the synod when pursued e'en him, farseeing One! who walks in evil ways. Thou, when the heroes fight for spoil which men rush, round, slayest in war the many by the hands of few.
