Mantra 10
Sukta 3
ये नः सपत्ना अप ते भवन्त्विन्द्राग्निभ्यामव बाधामह एनान्। आदित्या रुद्रा उपरिस्पृशो न उग्रं चेत्तारमधिराजमक्रत
yé naḥ sapatnā́ apá té bhavantu indrāgníbhyām áva bādhāmahe enān | ādityā́ rudrā́ uparispṛ́śo no ugráṃ cetā́ram adhirā́jam akrata ||
Let those who are our rivals become driven away: by Indra and Agni we thrust these down and off. The Ādityas and the Rudras, overarching, have for us established a fierce controller, a paramount king.
