Sukta 34
अरसं कृत्रिमं नादमरसाः सप्त विस्रसः । अपेतो जङ्गिडामतिमिषुमस्तेव शातय
arásaṁ kṛtrímaṁ nā́dam arasā́ḥ saptá vísrasaḥ | apéto jaṅgiḍā́d atimíṣuṁ ásteva śātaya ||
Sapless be the fabricated roar; sapless, sevenfold, let them fall asunder. Driven off by Jaṅgiḍa—shatter the over-mastering missile, as one would a weapon.
Rishi: Atharvanic (Jaṅgiḍa-maṇi cycle).
Devata: Jaṅgiḍa (apotropaic agent) and the negated kṛtyā/missile as adversary.
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh.
