Atharva Veda 6.67.2: Kanda 6, Anuvaka 7, Sukta 67, Mantra 2
Sukta 67
मू॒ढा अ॒मित्रा॑श्चरताशी॒र्षाण॑ इ॒वाहयः॑ । तेषां॑ वो अ॒ग्निमू॑ढाना॒मिन्द्रो॑ हन्तु॒ वरं॑वरम्
mūḍhā́ amítrāś caratāśīrṣā́ṇa ivā́hayaḥ | téṣāṃ vo agnímūḍhānām índro hantu váraṃ-varam
Bewildered, O foemen, wander ye—headlong like serpents. Of you, fire-confounded, let Indra smite the choicest, one by one.
दुश्मन लोग पागल हो के भटक रहे हैं, जैसे साँप सिर झुका के चलते हैं। अगर उनका दिमाग घूम गया है, तो इंद्र उनमें से सबसे बड़े को मार देगा। एक-एक करके।
