Sukta 25

गि॒रिमे॑नाँ॒ आ वे॑शय॒ कण्वा॑न् जीवित॒योप॑नान्। तांस्त्वं दे॑वि पृश्निपर्ण्य॒ग्निरि॑वानु॒दह॑न्निहि

girímenā́n ā́ véśaya kaṇvā́n jīvitayópanān | tā́ṁs tváṁ devi pṛśniparṇy agnír ivā́nudáhan ihí ||

Bring in the hill-men; make them enter under the Kaṇvas—those whose very footing is life. Those, O Goddess Pṛśniparṇī, do thou, like Agni, burning after them, consume: go forth!

గిరిజనులను లోపలికి తీసుకురా; కణ్వుల అధీనంలో—జీవితాన్ని తొక్కేవారు, జీవనాన్ని పీడించేవారు—వారిని ప్రవేశింపజేయి. దేవి పృశ్నిపర్ణీ, అగ్నిలా వారి వెంట వెంటనే దహిస్తూ వారిని భస్మం చేయి; ముందుకు సాగి వారిని నశింపజేయి.
