Enemy-destruction. Up and away—his two dark ones, his two quivering vultures, have flown as though to heaven. The two Burners and Thorough-burners—those two Burners—(let them be) driven forth from his heart.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angiras-type attribution (traditional for śatrunāśana hymns; requires padapāṭha-anukramaṇī confirmation)
Devata: Apotropaic forces; personified pains/portents (no single high deity foregrounded)
Chandas: Predominantly Anuṣṭubh-like cadence (to be metrically verified against pada counts)
