अग्ने यत् ते हरस्तेन तं प्रति हर यो३स्मान् द्वेष्टि यं वयं द्विष्मः
ágné yát te háras ténā táṃ práti hara yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmaḥ
O Agni, with that thy burning bolt—what heat is thine—smite him in requital, who hateth us, whom we ourselves do hate.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī; often classed under Atharvan/Āṅgirasa strata for such counter-charms)
Devata: Agni (as punitive and protective fire)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; short imperative/relative construction typical of Atharvanic anuṣṭubh—verify against pada count in the edition used)
