Sukta 2
इन्द्र॑ चि॒त्तानि॑ मो॒हय॑न्न॒र्वाङाकू॑त्या चर । अ॒ग्नेर्वात॑स्य॒ ध्राज्या॒ तान् विषू॑चो॒ वि ना॑शय
índra cittā́ni moháyann arvā́ṅ-ākū́tyā cara | agnér vā́tasya dhrā́jyā tā́n viṣū́co ví nāśaya
O Indra, bewildering (their) minds, go forth with purpose turned hitherward; with the blazing radiance of Agni and of Wind, those crosswise-working foes—scatter them, destroy them utterly.
يا إندرا، أَضِلَّ عقولَهم وبلبلْ أفكارَهم؛ وامضِ قُدُماً بعزمٍ متوجّهٍ إلى هنا. وباللمعان المتّقد لأغني وبنَفَس فايو (الريح)، أولئك الأعداء العاملين على نحوٍ مُعانِدٍ متقاطع—بدّدهم وامحُهم محواً تامّاً.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angiras-type attribution typical for this protective cycle (exact r̥ṣi assignment depends on Anukramaṇī tradition for AVŚ 3.2).
Devata: Indra (primary); Agni and Vāta as auxiliary purificatory/dispersive powers.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (edition-dependent; to be confirmed against pada-count in the received text).
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
