Sukta 70
अपि॑ नह्यामि ते बा॒हू अपि॑ नह्याम्या॒स्यऽम्। अ॒ग्नेर्घो॒रस्य॑ म॒न्युना॒ तेन॑ तेऽवधिषं ह॒विः
ápi nahyāmi te bāhū́ ápi nahyāmy ā́syàm | agnér ghórasya manyúnā téna te ’vadhíṣaṁ havíḥ ||
I bind fast thy arms; I bind fast thy mouth. With the dread wrath of Agni—therewith I have smitten thee down, (using) the oblation.
मैं तुम्हारे हाथ बाँध देता हूँ। तुम्हारा मुँह भी बाँध देता हूँ। अग्नि कि गुस्से की ताकत से तुम्हें गिरा देता हूँ। यह हवन की सामग्री से होता है।
