Sukta 28
विध्य दर्भ सपत्नान् मे विध्य मे पृतनायतः । विध्य मे सर्वान् दुर्हार्दो विध्य मे द्विषतो मणे
vidhyà darbha sapátnān me vidhyà me pṛtanāyatáḥ | vidhyà me sárvān durhā́rdo vidhyà me dvíṣato maṇé ||
Pierce, O Darbha, my rivals; pierce for me the battle-assailants. Pierce for me all the ill-hearted; pierce for me the haters, O Amulet.
