Mantra 12
Sukta 9
उद् वेपय सं विजन्तां भियामित्रान्त्सं सृज । उरुग्राहैर्बाह्वङ्कैर्विध्यामित्रान् न्यर्बुदे
úd vepaya sáṃ vijantāṃ bhiyā́mītrā́n sáṃ sṛja | urugrāháir bāhv-aṅkáir vidhyā́mītrā́n ny àrbude ||
Make them start and tremble; let the enemies be wholly scattered with fear: send it forth. With wide-grasping seizings, with arm-hooks, pierce the enemies down, O Arbuda.
उन्हें चौंका और कंपा दे; भय से शत्रु पूरी तरह तितर-बितर हो जाएँ—इसे छोड़ दे। व्यापक-ग्राहक पकड़ से, भुजा-हुकों से, शत्रुओं को नीचे बेध दे, हे अर्बुद!
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (unspecified here).
Devata: Arbuda (destructive agent); fear as instrumental force.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh.
