RV 7.85.2

स्पर्धन्ते वा उ देवहूये अत्र येषु ध्वजेषु दिद्यवः पतन्ति । युवं तां इन्द्रावरुणाव् अमित्रान् हतम् पराचः शर्वा विषूचः ॥

spardhante vā u devahūye atra yeṣu dhvajeṣu didyavaḥ patanti | yuvaṃ tāṃ indrāvaruṇāv amitrān hatam parācaḥ śarvā viṣūcaḥ ||

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

Here where the arrows fall amid the banners both hosts invoke the Gods in emulation. O Indra-Varuna, smite back those-our foemen, yea, smite them with your shaft to every quarter.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
