Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.53

उत् ते शुष्मासो अस्थू रक्षो भिन्दन्तो अद्रिवः । नुदस्व याः परिस्पृधः ॥

ut te śuṣmāso asthū rakṣo bhindanto adrivaḥ | nudasva yāḥ parispṛdhaḥ ||

O THOU with stones for arms, thy powers, crushing the fiends, have raised themselves: Chase thou the foes who compass us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अया निजघ्निर् ओजसा रथसंगे धने हिते । स्तवा अबिभ्युषा हृदा ॥

ayā nijaghnir ojasā rathasaṃge dhane hite | stavā abibhyuṣā hṛdā ||

Thou conquerest thus with might when car meets car, and when the prize is staked: With fearless heart will I sing praise.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अस्य व्रतानि नाधृषे पवमानस्य दूढ्या । रुज यस् त्वा पृतन्यति ॥

asya vratāni nādhṛṣe pavamānasya dūḍhyā | ruja yas tvā pṛtanyati ||

No one with evil thought assails this Pavamana's holy laws: Crush him who fain would fight with thee.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

तं हिन्वन्ति मदच्युतं हरिं नदीषु वाजिनम् । इन्दुम् इन्द्राय मत्सरम् ॥

taṃ hinvanti madacyutaṃ hariṃ nadīṣu vājinam | indum indrāya matsaram ||

For Indra to the streams they drive the tawny rapture-dropping Steed, Indu the bringer of delight.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
