Sukta 113
तृ॒ष्टासि॑ तृष्टि॒का वि॒षा वि॑षात॒क्यऽसि । परि॑वृक्ता॒ यथास॑स्यृष॒भस्य॑ व॒शेव॑
tṛṣṭā́si tṛṣṭikā víṣā víṣātaky ási | pári-vṛktā yáthā ’sasya ṛṣabhásya vaśéva ||
Keen-edged art thou, O Tṛṣṭikā; poison art thou, poison-bearing art thou: turned back and driven round, as a submissive cow before a bull, so be (the foe).
হে তৃষ্টিকা, তুমি তীক্ষ্ণধার; তুমি বিষ, বিষবাহী। যেমন ষাঁড়ের সামনে বশীভূত গাভীকে ফিরিয়ে ঘুরিয়ে তাড়ানো হয়, তেমনই (শত্রু) ফিরে গিয়ে প্রতিহত ও ঘূর্ণিত হোক।
