Sukta 20
वायो॒ यत् ते॒ तेज॒स्तेन॒ तम॑ते॒जसं॑ कृणु॒ यो॒३स्मान् द्वेष्टि॒ यं व॒यं द्वि॒ष्मः
vā́yo yát te téjas ténā tám atéjasaṃ kṛṇu yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmaḥ
O Vāyu, with that splendour which is thine, thereby make him splendourless—who hateth us, whom we do hate.
ಹೇ ವಾಯು, ನಿನ್ನಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಆ ತೇಜಸ್ಸಿನಿಂದ ಅವನನ್ನು ತೇಜೋಹೀನನಾಗಿಸು—ಯಾರು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ದ್ವೇಷಿಸುತ್ತಾನೋ, ಯಾರನ್ನು ನಾವು ದ್ವೇಷಿಸುತ್ತೇವೋ.
Rishi: Anukramaṇī attribution not supplied in the prompt; commonly to be verified from the AVŚ Śaunaka anukramaṇī for 2.20.
Devata: Vāyu (as bearer of tejas and agent of deprivation of hostile power)
Chandas: Likely Anuṣṭubh (to be confirmed by metrical count; the syntax and cadence are consistent with common AV anuṣṭubh enemy-spells).
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
