Rig Veda 3.30.16: Mandala 3, Sukta 30, Mantra 16
Sukta 3.30
सं घोषः शृण्वेऽवमैरमित्रैर्जही न्येष्वशनिं तपिष्ठाम् । वृश्चेमधस्ताद्वि रुजा सहस्व जहि रक्षो मघवन्रन्धयस्व ॥
sáṃ ghóṣaḥ śṛṇve avamáir amítrair jahī́ ny èṣv aśániṃ tápiṣṭhām | vṛścem adhástād ví rujā sáhasva jahí rákṣo maghavan randháyasva ||
The clamour is heard from the lower hostile powers; smite them—cast down among them thy most burning thunderbolt. Cut them off from below, shatter them apart, prevail by force; slay the Racksha, O bounteous one, and bring the obstructors to subjection.
