RV 1.36.16

घनेव विष्वग् वि जह्य् अराव्णस् तपुर्जम्भ यो अस्मध्रुक् । यो मर्त्यः शिशीते अत्य् अक्तुभिर् मा नः स रिपुर् ईशत ॥

ghaneva viṣvag vi jahy arāvṇas tapurjambha yo asmadhruk | yo martyaḥ śiśīte aty aktubhir mā naḥ sa ripur īśata ||

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

Smite down as with a club, thou who hast fire for teeth, smite thou the wicked, right and left. Let not the man who plots against us in the night, nor any foe prevail o'er us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
