Rig Veda 3.53.21: Mandala 3, Sukta 53, Mantra 21
Sukta 3.53
इन्द्रोतिभिर्बहुलाभिर्नो अद्य याच्छ्रेष्ठाभिर्मघवञ्छूर जिन्व । यो नो द्वेष्ट्यधरः सस्पदीष्ट यमु द्विष्मस्तमु प्राणो जहातु ॥
índro ū́tibhir bahulā́bhir no adyá yāt-śréṣṭhābhir maghavan chūra jinva | yó no dvéṣṭy ádharaḥ sá spadīṣṭa yám u dvíṣmas tám u prāṇó jahātu ||
May Indra today come to us with his many helps, with the best aids; O Maghavan, O hero, set us in the forward surge. Whoever hates us, low in consciousness—let him fall away; whom we oppose, let his very breath abandon him.
