víṣṇoḥ krámo ’si sapatná-hā́psu-saṃśitó váruṇa-tejāḥ | apó ’nu ví krame ’hám adbhyás táṃ nír-bhajāmo yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmaḥ | sá mā́ jī́vit táṃ prāṇó jahātu
Thou art the stride of Viṣṇu, a slayer of rivals, whetted in the waters, possessed of Varuṇa’s splendour. Along the waters I stride forth; from the waters we sunder and cast away that man who hateth us, whom we in turn do hate. Let him not live: let breath abandon him.
أنتَ خُطوةُ (كرَما) ڤيشنو، قاتلُ الخصوم، مُرهَفٌ في المياه، ذو بهاءِ ڤارونا. على أثرِ المياه أخطو قُدُمًا؛ ومن المياه نفصلُ ونطرحُ ذلك الرجلَ الذي يُبغِضُنا، والذي نُبغِضُه نحنُ أيضًا. فلا يَحْيَ؛ ولْيَهْجُرْهُ البرَانَا (نَفَسُ الحياة).
Rishi: Hymn-level attribution to be confirmed via anukramaṇī collation for AVŚ 10.5.
Devata: Viṣṇu (Kramá) with Varuṇa’s tejas; Ap (waters) as empowered medium; Prāṇa as life-force.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like Atharvanic verse; verify by metrical scan in the base text.
