Rig Veda 4.5.4: Mandala 4, Sukta 5, Mantra 4
Sukta 4.5
प्र ताँ अग्निर्बभसत्तिग्मजम्भस्तपिष्ठेन शोचिषा यः सुराधाः । प्र ये मिनन्ति वरुणस्य धाम प्रिया मित्रस्य चेततो ध्रुवाणि ॥
prá tā́m̐ agnír babhasat tigmá-jambhas tápiṣṭhena śocíṣā yáḥ su-rā́dhāḥ | prá ye minánti váruṇasya dhā́ma priyā́ mitrásya cétato dhruvā́ṇi ||
Agni, with keen jaws, blazes against them with his most burning flame—he of perfect workings. He smites those who impair Varuṇa’s law-abode and disturb the dear, firm harmonies of Mitra that awaken the conscious being.
