Sukta 30
अ॒हं रु॒द्राय॒ धनु॒रा त॑नोमि ब्रह्म॒द्विषे॒ शर॑वे॒ हन्त॒वा उ॑ । अ॒हं जना॑य स॒मदं॑ कृणोम्य॒हं॑ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी आ वि॑वेश
aháṃ rudrā́ya dhánur ā́ tanomi brahmádviṣe śárave hántavā́ u | aháṃ jánāya samádaṃ kṛṇomy aháṃ dyā́vā-pṛthivī́ ā́ viveśa ||
I stretch the bow for Rudra, yea, for the arrow, to slay the hater of the holy spell. I make for the people the onset of battle; I have entered into Heaven and Earth.
Aku merentangkan busur bagi Rudra—ya, bagi anak panah—untuk membunuh pembenci mantra suci (brahman). Aku menimbulkan serbuan pertempuran bagi manusia; aku telah memasuki Langit dan Bumi.
