Mantra 2
Sukta 21
सूर्य यत् ते हरस्तेन तं प्रति हर यो३स्मान् द्वेष्टि यं वयं द्विष्मः
sū́rya yát te háras téna táṃ práti hara yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmaḥ
O Sūrya, with that thy burning glare—therewith bear him back, him who hateth us, whom we ourselves do hate.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific ṛṣi attribution for this verse/hymn depends on Anukramaṇī tradition for AVŚ 2.21).
Devata: Sūrya (Sun), as bearer of haras/tejas and agent of retributive return.
Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh (to be confirmed against pada count in the received text).
