Sukta 90
शत्रुबलनाशनम्। अपि॑ वृश्च पुराण॒वद् व्र॒तते॑रिव गुष्पि॒तम्। ओजो॑ दा॒स्यस्य॑ दम्भय
ápi vṛ́śca purāṇavád vratatér iva guṣpitám | ójo dāsyásya dambhaya ||
Cut off, even as in days of old, the knotted swelling as it were of the vowed one; crush thou the might of the Dāsa.
పూర్వకాలంలాగ, వ్రతధారుడి ముడిపడ్డ వాపును కూడా కోసివేయి; దాసుని బలాన్ని నలిపివేయి.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (varies)
Devata: Indra-like martial force implied; the mantra functions as a weapon-spell (no explicit devatā named)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (probable; verify)
Primary: raudra
Secondary: vira
