Atharva Veda 2.5.3: Kanda 2, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 5, Mantra 3
Sukta 5
इन्द्र॑स्तुरा॒षाण्मि॒त्रो वृ॒त्रं यो ज॒घान॑ य॒तीर्न। बि॒भेद॑ व॒लं भृगु॒र्न स॑सहे॒ शत्रू॒न् मदे॒ सोम॑स्य
índras turā́ṣāṇ mitró vṛtráṃ yó jaghā́na yatī́r ná | bibhéda valáṃ bhṛgúr ná sasahé śatrū́n madé sómasya
Indra the Overmasterer, and Mitra—he who smote Vṛtra—(he) brake the Yatis; he clave Vala asunder; like Bhṛgu he prevailed against the foes, in the exhilaration of Soma.
ఇంద్రుడు—అతిశయ విజేత—మరియు మిత్రుడు; వృత్రాన్ని సంహరించినవాడైన అతడు యతులను చెదరగొట్టాడు. వలాన్ని చీల్చాడు; భృగువలె సోమమదంలో శత్రువులపై ప్రాబల్యం పొందాడు.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (hymn framed in Indra-victory diction; specific r̥ṣi attribution depends on the Anukramaṇī for AV 2.5)
Devata: Indra (primary), with Mitra as allied divine power; Soma as enabling force
Chandas: Mixed/irregular; predominantly triṣṭubh-like cadence in diction, though Atharvanic transmission may not preserve strict metrical regularity
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
