Atharva Veda 5.29.11: Kanda 5, Anuvaka 3, Sukta 29, Mantra 11
Sukta 29
स॒नाद॑ग्ने मृणसि यातु॒धाना॒न् न त्वा॒ रक्षां॑सि॒ पृत॑नासु जिग्युः । स॒हमू॑रा॒ननु॑ दह क्र॒व्यादो॒ मा ते॑ हे॒त्या मु॑क्षतः॒ दैव्या॑याः
sanā́d agne mṛṇási yātudhā́nān ná tvā rákṣāṃsi pṛ́tanāsu jigyuḥ | sahámūrān ánu daha kravyā́do mā́ te hetyā́ mukṣathā daivyā́yāḥ
From of old, O Agni, thou crushest the Yātudhānas; never have the Rakṣases conquered thee in battles. Burn after—burn up—those very ones, O flesh-eater; do not let loose thy divine missile against us.
अग्नि, तू बहुत पुराने टाइम से इन बुरी चीज़ों को कुचल देता है। राक्षस कभी भी तुझे फाइट में नहीं हरा पाए। इन फ्लेश खाने वालों को जला दे। अपनी पावर हमारे ऊपर मत चला।
