Sukta 3
ये ते॒ शृङ्गे॑ अ॒जरे॑ जातवेदस्ति॒ग्महे॑ती॒ ब्रह्म॑संशिते । ताभ्यां॑ दु॒र्हार्द॑मभि॒दास॑न्तं किमी॒दिनं॑ प्र॒त्यञ्च॑म॒र्चिषा॑ जातवेदो॒ वि नि॑क्ष्व
yé te śṛ́ṅge ajáre jātávedas tigmá-hetī bráhma-saṁśite | tā́bhyāṁ durhā́rdam abhídāsantaṁ kīmīdínaṁ pratyáñcam arcíṣā jātavedo ví nikṣva
Those horns of thine, unaging Jātavedas, sharp-weaponed, whetted by the holy spell—with those twain, with flame, thrust down and scatter the hard-hearted Kīmīdin, who assaileth, turned full against us.
अग्नि, तुम्हारे सींग कभी बूढ़ा नहीं होते। वो बहुत तेज़ हैं, मंत्र से और भी तेज़ किए गए हैं। इन सींग और आग से उस किमिदिन को धक्का मारो जो तुमपे हमला कर रहा है। वो बुरा दिल वाला है, उसे गिरा दो।
