Sukta 32
प्र ते॑ शृणामि॒ शृङ्गे॒ याभ्यां॑ वितुदा॒यसि॑ । भि॒नाद्मि॑ ते कु॒षुम्भं॒ यस्ते॑ विष॒धानः॑
prá te śṛṇāmi śṛṅgé yā́bhyāṃ vitudā́yasi | bhinā́dmi te kuṣúmbhaṃ yás te viṣadhā́naḥ ||
Forth—thy horns I shatter, wherewith thou dost pierce and wound. I cleave for thee the kushumbha, which is thy poison-receptacle.
Sinasira ko ang iyong mga sungay, na ginagamit mo sa pagtusok at pagwawound. Binabasag ko para sa iyo ang kushumbha, na siyang lalagyan ng iyong lason.
