Rig Veda 2.25.3: Mandala 2, Sukta 25, Mantra 3
Sukta 2.25
सिन्धुर्न क्षोदः शिमीवाँ ऋघायतो वृषेव वध्रीँरभि वष्ट्योजसा । अग्नेरिव प्रसितिर्नाह वर्तवे यंयं युजं कृणुते ब्रह्मणस्पतिः ॥
síndhur ná kṣódaḥ śimī́vān ṛghāyató vṛ́ṣeva vádhrīm̐r abhí váṣṭy ójasā | agnér iva prá-sitir nā́ha vártave yaṃ-yáṃ yújaṃ kṛṇuté bráhmaṇas-pátiḥ ||
Like a river in flood, forceful, against the crooked adversary, he smites with power as a bull strikes down the bound restraints. Like Agni’s forward drive, there is no turning him back—he for whom Brahmaṇaspati makes every yoke-fellow power.
