Rig Veda 6.52.3 — Mandala 6, Sukta 52, Mantra 3
Sukta 6.52
किमङ्ग त्वा ब्रह्मणः सोम गोपां किमङ्ग त्वाहुरभिशस्तिपां नः । किमङ्ग नः पश्यसि निद्यमानान्ब्रह्मद्विषे तपुषिं हेतिमस्य ॥
kím aṅgá tvā bráhmaṇaḥ soma gopā́ṃ kím aṅgá tvāhur abhiśastipā́ṃ naḥ | kím aṅgá naḥ páśyasi nidyámānān brahma-dvíṣe tápuṣiṃ hétim asyá ||
Why indeed do they call you, O Soma, the guardian of the brahman? Why do they name you the protector of us against hostile imprecation? Why do you look upon us when we are being blamed—so that against the hater of the sacred Word you may cast the burning weapon of your force?
