Mantra 26
Sukta 10
मर्माविधं रोरुवतं सुपर्णैरदन्तु दुश्चितं मृदितं शयानम्। य इमां प्रतीचीमाहुतिममित्रो नो युयुत्सति
marmāvidháṁ rórūvatam supárṇair adantu duścítaṁ mṛditáṁ śayā́nam | yá imā́ṁ pratī́cīm ā́hutim amítró no yuyútsati ||
Pierced in his vital parts, howling—let the fair-winged devour him, the ill-devised, crushed down, lying low: the foe who would contend with us, and turn this oblation back against us.
मर्मों में बेधा हुआ, कराहता हुआ—सुपर्ण (सुन्दर-पंखों वाले पक्षी) उस दुश्चित, मृदित, नीचे पड़ा शत्रु को खा जाएँ; जो अमित्र इस प्रतिची आहुति को उलटा कर हमारे विरुद्ध युद्ध करना चाहता है।
