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

Translation

О Агни, склоняющий свои стрелы жертвенными деяниями, заостряющий дротики речью и кующий их, как громовые молнии, — пронзи в сердце ятудхан; сломи им навстречу обращённые руки, что восстают против правого хода.
