Rig Veda 2.30.9: Mandala 2, Sukta 30, Mantra 9
Sukta 2.30
यो नः सनुत्य उत वा जिघत्नुरभिख्याय तं तिगितेन विध्य । बृहस्पत आयुधैर्जेषि शत्रून्द्रुहे रीषन्तं परि धेहि राजन् ॥
yó naḥ sánutya utá vā jighatnúr abhikhyā́ya táṃ tigiténa vidhya | bṛ́haspata ā́yudhair jéṣi śátrūn druhé ríṣantaṃ pári dhehi rājan ||
Whoever, stealing upon us, would strike—having marked him, pierce him with the keen point. O Bṛhaspati, conquer the foes with your weapons; O King, set a boundary all around the deceiver who harms.
