Rig Veda 5.34.2 — Mandala 5, Sukta 34, Mantra 2
Sukta 5.34
आ यः सोमेन जठरमपिप्रतामन्दत मघवा मध्वो अन्धसः । यदीं मृगाय हन्तवे महावधः सहस्रभृष्टिमुशना वधं यमत् ॥
ā́ yaḥ sómena jaṭháram apípratām ámandata maghávā́ mádhvo ándhasaḥ | yadī́ṃ mṛgā́ya hántave mahā́vadhaḥ sahásrabhṛṣṭim uśánā́ vadháṃ yámat ||
He who, with Soma, filled his belly and grew glad—the bountiful one—by the honeyed draught: when he sought the weapon of a thousand edges to strike the ‘wild-beast’ that resists, then the seer Ushanas fixed for him that slaying-force. Thus delight becomes a sharpened will for the conquest of inner obstruction.
