Sukta 113
तृ॒ष्टासि॑ तृष्टि॒का वि॒षा वि॑षात॒क्यऽसि । परि॑वृक्ता॒ यथास॑स्यृष॒भस्य॑ व॒शेव॑
tṛṣṭā́si tṛṣṭikā víṣā víṣātaky ási | pári-vṛktā yáthā ’sasya ṛṣabhásya vaśéva ||
Keen-edged art thou, O Tṛṣṭikā; poison art thou, poison-bearing art thou: turned back and driven round, as a submissive cow before a bull, so be (the foe).
हे तृष्टिका, तू तीक्ष्णधार आहेस; तू विष आहेस, विषवाहिनी आहेस. जसा वृषभापुढे वश झालेली गाय उलटवून फिरवून हाकली जाते, तसाच (शत्रू) परत फिरवला जाऊन चक्राकार फिरवून दूर हाकला जावो.
