Rig Veda 10.87.4: Mandala 10, Sukta 87, Mantra 4
Sukta 10.87
यज्ञैरिषूः संनममानो अग्ने वाचा शल्याँ अशनिभिर्दिहानः । ताभिर्विध्य हृदये यातुधानान्प्रतीचो बाहून्प्रति भङ्ध्येषाम् ॥
yajñáir iṣū́ḥ sán-namamāno agne vācā́ śalyā́m aśánibhir dihānáḥ | tā́bhir vidhya hṛ́daye yātu-dhānān pratī́co bāhū́n práti bhaṅdhy eṣām ||
O Agni, der du deine Pfeile durch Opferhandlungen spannst, die Geschosse durch das Wort schärfst und sie wie Donnerkeile schmiedest: durchbohre die Yātudhānas im Herzen; brich ihnen die entgegenstrebenden Arme, die sich gegen den rechten Gang erheben.
