Rig Veda 10.61.8: Mandala 10, Sukta 61, Mantra 8

Sukta 10.61

Rishi: Same hymn complex (10.61).
Devata: Implicit heroic power overcoming scant consciousness; no explicit named devatā here.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh

स ईं वृषा न फेनमस्यदाजौ स्मदा परैदप दभ्रचेताः । सरत्पदा न दक्षिणा परावृङ्न ता नु मे पृशन्यो जगृभ्रे ॥

sá īṃ vṛ́ṣā ná phénam asyad ājā́u smád ā́ paráit ápa dábhracetāḥ | sárat padā́ ná dákṣiṇā parā́vṛṅ ná tā́ nú me pṛśanyó jagṛbhre ||

Dia, laksana seekor jantan perkasa, memancutkan buih dalam pertempuran; lalu sempitnya fikiran gugur dan dia melangkah melampaui. Kuasa pemberi-kanan (dakṣiṇā) tergelincir dari tapak dan menyimpang—namun kuasa-kuasa itu kini tidak mencengkamku; aku menolak genggaman para pengacau bertompok-gelap.
