Sukta 31
कृ॒त्या॒कृतं॑ वल॒गिनं॑ मू॒लिनं॑ शपथे॒य्यऽम्। इन्द्र॒स्तं ह॑न्तु मह॒ता व॒धेना॒ग्निर्वि॑ध्यत्व॒स्तया॑
kṛtyā́kṛtaṃ valagínaṃ mūlínaṃ śapatheyyám | índras táṃ hantu mahatā́ vadhénā́gnír vidhyatv astáyā |
The kṛtyā-wrought, the valaga-bearer, the root-worker, the oath-begotten—him let Indra smite with mighty slaughter; let Agni pierce him through with his weapon.
जिसने जादू किया, जिसने बाड़ा लगाया, जिसने जड़ से पाप किया, जिसने झूठी कसम खाई। इंद्र उसपे बड़ा वार करे, उसे मार डाले। अग्नि अपना हथियार मारे जो उसे सीधा चीर के गुज़र जाए।
