Mantra 1
Sukta 6
शत्रुनाशनम्। यो३स्मान् ब्रह्मणस्पतेऽदेवो अभिमन्यते । सर्वं तं रन्धयासि मे यजमानाय सुन्वते
śatrunāśanam | yó ’smā́n brahmaṇaspate ’dévo abhímanyate | sárvaṃ táṃ randhayāsi mé yajámānāya sunváté ||
Enemy-destruction. Whoso, O Lord of Prayer, godless, is wroth against us—him wholly do thou bring into subjection for me, for the sacrificer who presseth Soma.
शत्रु-नाशन। हे ब्रह्मणस्पति, जो कोई अदेव (देव-विहीन) होकर हम पर क्रोध करता है, उस पूरे को तू मेरे लिए—यजमान, सोम-निचोड़ने वाले के लिए—वश में कर दे।
