Mantra 11
Sukta 3
त्रिर्यातुधानः प्रसितिं त एत्वृतं यो अग्ने अनृतेन हन्ति । तमर्चिषा स्फूर्जयन् जातवेदः समक्षमेनं गृणते नि युङ्ग्धि
trír yātudhā́naḥ prásitiṃ ta etv ṛtáṃ yó agne ánṛtena hánti | tám arcíṣā sphū́rjayan jātavedo samákṣam enaṃ gṛṇaté ní yuṅgdhi ||
Thrice let the Yātudhāna pass into thy noose, he who, O Agni, smiteth ṛta with untruth. Him, flashing with thy flame, O Jātavedas, bind down in open sight, for the singer who extolleth thee.
Rishi: Atharvanic/Āṅgirasa tradition (Anukramaṇī-dependent)
