Mantra 1
Sukta 134
शत्रुनाशनम्। अयं वज्रस्तर्पयतामृतस्यावास्य राष्ट्रमप हन्तु जीवितम्। शृणातु ग्रीवाः प्र शृणातूष्णिहा वृत्रस्येव शचीपतिः
ayáṃ vájras tarpayatām amṛ́tasya avā́sya rāṣṭrám ápa hantu jīvitám | śṛṇā́tu grīvā́ḥ prá śṛṇātu uṣṇíhā vṛtrásyeva śacī́patiḥ
This thunderbolt—let it be sated with the Immortal’s might—let it smite away the life of him who threatens this realm. Let it shatter necks, yea, shatter them forth, with the Uṣṇih, as Śacī’s Lord did Vṛtra.
Destruction des ennemis. Que ce Vajra se rassasie de la puissance de l’Immortel ; qu’il abatte, en ôtant la vie, celui qui menace ce royaume. Qu’il brise les nuques, oui qu’il les brise au loin—par l’Uṣṇih, comme le Seigneur de Śacī terrassa Vṛtra.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (not specified in excerpt)
Devata: Indra (Śacīpati) / Vajra as personified force
