Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.2.9

RV 5.2.9

वि ज्योतिषा बृहता भात्य् अग्निर् आविर् विश्वानि कृणुते महित्वा । प्रादेवीर् मायाः सहते दुरेवाः शिशीते शृङ्गे रक्षसे विनिक्षे ॥

vi jyotiṣā bṛhatā bhāty agnir āvir viśvāni kṛṇute mahitvā | prādevīr māyāḥ sahate durevāḥ śiśīte śṛṅge rakṣase vinikṣe ||

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

Agni shines far and wide with lofty splendour, and by his greatness makes all things apparent. He conquers godless and malign enchantments, and sharpens both his horns to gore the Raksas.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
