Rig Veda 10.87.5: Mandala 10, Sukta 87, Mantra 5
Sukta 10.87
अग्ने त्वचं यातुधानस्य भिन्धि हिंस्राशनिर्हरसा हन्त्वेनम् । प्र पर्वाणि जातवेदः शृणीहि क्रव्यात्क्रविष्णुर्वि चिनोतु वृक्णम् ॥
agne tvácaṃ yātu-dhā́nasyā bhindhi hiṃsrā́śanir hárasā hantv enam | prá párvāṇi jāta-vedaḥ śṛṇīhi krav-yā́t kraviṣṇúr ví cinotu vṛ́kṇam ||
O Agni, split the skin of the yātudhāna; let the fierce thunderbolt smite him with its glare. Break his joints apart, O Jātavedas; let the raw-eater, the devourer, pick apart what is cut down.
