Sukta 9.52
Devata: Soma Pavamāna
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
चरुर्न यस्तमीङ्खयेन्दो न दानमीङ्खय । वधैर्वधस्नवीङ्खय ॥
Transliteration
carúr ná yas tám īṅkhayéndo ná dā́nam īṅkhaya | vadháir vadhasnó īṅkhaya ||
Translation
સારી રીતે પકવેલી ચરુ (હવિ) જેવી—જે કોઈ તેને હલાવવાનો પ્રયત્ન કરે; હે ઇન્દુ! તે તારા દાનને હલાવી શકતો નથી. તારા પ્રહારોથી પ્રહારક (હિંસક આક્રમક)ને જ હલાવી પાડી દે.
