Rig Veda 7.104.18: Mandala 7, Sukta 104, Mantra 18
Sukta 7.104
वि तिष्ठध्वं मरुतो विक्ष्विच्छत गृभायत रक्षसः सं पिनष्टन । वयो ये भूत्वी पतयन्ति नक्तभिर्ये वा रिपो दधिरे देवे अध्वरे ॥
ví tiṣṭhadhvaṃ maruto víkṣv ícchata gṛbhā́yata rákṣasaḥ sáṃ pinaṣṭana | váyo yé bhūtvī́ patáyanti naktábhīr yé vā rípo dadhiré devé adhvaré ||
Stand apart, O Maruts; search through the settlements. Seize the rakṣas and crush them together—those who become birds and fly by nights, or those who have set hostility within the divine sacrifice.
