Rig Veda 9.91.4: Mandala 9, Sukta 91, Mantra 4
Sukta 9.91
रुजा दृळ्हा चिद्रक्षसः सदांसि पुनान इन्द ऊर्णुहि वि वाजान् । वृश्चोपरिष्टात्तुजता वधेन ये अन्ति दूरादुपनायमेषाम् ॥
rujā́ dṛḷhā́ cid rakṣásaḥ sadā́ṃsi punānā́ índo ūrṇuhi ví vā́jān | vṛ́ścopáriṣṭāt tujatā́ vadhéna yé ánti dūrā́d upanā́yam eṣām ||
Break even the firm-set seats of the Rakshasas; O purified Indu, unfold and spread out the vājās—plenitudes of victorious force. Cut down from above with the smiting weapon those who, whether near or far, press in upon our path.
