Sukta 65
Rishi: Atharvanic/Angirasic milieu (enemy-crushing charm complex; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies)
Devata: Indra-like repelling power / Parāśara (as personified expulsion)
Chandas: Jagatī/Triṣṭubh-like (requires metrical verification)
AV 6.65は、簡潔な武戦的・厭勝の呪法であり、敵の憤怒を呪力によって沈め、打撃の力を奪って（「手のない者」とし）、退却を強いる。その効験は、インドラが太初にアスラを武装解除したという神話的先例に根拠づけられ、解き放たれた力は勝利と施主の富へと振り向けられる。

Frequently Asked Questions
It is a ritual way of saying the opponent’s ability to strike is removed—arms, weapons, and agency are magically neutralized so they cannot act effectively.
Indra supplies the authoritative warrior precedent (he first disarmed the Asuras), while Parāśara functions as the expulsive force that drives the enemy away and crushes their strength in the present rite.
Its primary setting is martial or hostile confrontation, but Atharvan tradition also applies such repelling/disabling charms to any situation where an adversary’s aggression and capacity to harm must be checked.
