Mantra 7
Sukta 40
य उपरिष्टाज्जुह्वति जातवेद ऊर्ध्वाया दिशोऽभिदासन्त्यस्मान्। सूर्यमृत्वा ते पराञ्चो व्यथन्तां प्रत्यगेनान् प्रतिसरेण हन्मि
yé uparíṣṭāj juhváti jātáveda ūrdhvā́yā diśó ’bhidā́santy asmā́n | sū́ryam ṛtvā́ té parā́ñco vyathantāṃ pratyagé́nān pratisaréṇa hanmi
Whoso from above maketh offering, O Jātavedas,—the upper regions assail us: taking the Sun for the effective stay, let them, turned away, be shaken; with the returning counter-force, with the Pratisara, I smite them down.
