Sukta 10.87

Devata: Agni

यज्ञैरिषूः संनममानो अग्ने वाचा शल्याँ अशनिभिर्दिहानः । ताभिर्विध्य हृदये यातुधानान्प्रतीचो बाहून्प्रति भङ्ध्येषाम् ॥

yajñáir iṣū́ḥ sán-namamāno agne vācā́ śalyā́m aśánibhir dihānáḥ | tā́bhir vidhya hṛ́daye yātu-dhānān pratī́co bāhū́n práti bhaṅdhy eṣām ||

Ó Agni, que vergas tuas flechas pelos atos do sacrifício, aguças os dardos pela palavra e os forjas como raios: fere no coração os yātudhānas; quebra-lhes os braços voltados de frente, que se erguem contra o reto curso.
