Rig Veda 10.87.2: Mandala 10, Sukta 87, Mantra 2
Sukta 10.87
अयोदंष्ट्रो अर्चिषा यातुधानानुप स्पृश जातवेदः समिद्धः । आ जिह्वया मूरदेवान्रभस्व क्रव्यादो वृक्त्व्यपि धत्स्वासन् ॥
áyo-daṃṣṭro arcíṣā yātu-dhānān úpa spṛśa jāta-vedaḥ sámiddhaḥ | ā́ jihváyā mū́ra-devān rabhasva krav-yā́do vṛktvī́ ápi dhatsvā́san ||
O Jātavedas, fully kindled, touch the yātudhānas with your flame, with iron fangs; with your tongue seize the brutish godless powers. Cut them down—let the eater of rawness fasten upon them, sitting firm.
