इ॒न्द्रा॒ग्नी का॑म स॒रथं॒ हि भू॒त्वा नी॒चैः स॒पत्ना॒न् मम॑ पादयाथः । तेषां॑ प॒न्नाना॑मध॒मा तमां॒स्यग्ने॒ वास्तू॑न्यनु॒निर्द॑ह॒ त्वम्
indrāgnī́ kā́ma saráthaṃ hí bhūtvā nícaiḥ sapátnān máma pādayāthaḥ | téṣāṃ pannā́nām adhamā́ támāṃsy agne vā́stūny anu nírdaha tvám ||
Indra and Agni—O Kāma—become ye verily of one car, and thrust my rivals downward, make them fall. Of those thus fallen into the lowest darknesses, O Agni, burn out their dwellings, following after them.
Wahai Kāma, jadilah Indra dan Agni sungguh satu kereta; tolaklah para pesaingku ke bawah, jatuhkan mereka. Dan terhadap mereka yang telah jatuh ke dalam kegelapan yang paling rendah itu, wahai Agni, hanguskanlah tempat tinggal mereka, menuruti jejak mereka.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition.
Devata: Indrāgnī under Kāma; Agni as executor.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (likely; long pādas with coercive cadence).
Primary: raudra
Secondary: vira
