Mantra 20
Sukta 6
अथर्वाणो अबध्नताथर्वणा अबध्नत । तौर्मेदिनो अङ्गिरसो दस्यूनां बिभिदुः पुरस्तेन त्वं द्विषतो जहि
átharvāṇo abadhnatātharváṇā́ abadhnat | taurmédino ’ṅgíraso dasyū́nāṃ bibhidúḥ púraḥ | téna tváṃ dviṣatáḥ jahí
The Atharvans bound it on; by Atharvan was it bound on. The Taurmedin Aṅgirases brake open the strongholds of the Dasyus: therewith do thou smite down the haters.
अथर्वणों ने उसे बाँधा; अथर्वण द्वारा वह बाँधा गया। तौर्मेदिन अङ्गिरसों ने दस्युओं के दुर्ग भेद डाले; उसी से तू द्वेषियों को मार, उन्हें गिरा दे।
