Sukta 19
अग्ने॒ यत् ते॒ हर॒स्तेन॒ तं प्रति॑ हर॒ यो॒३स्मान् द्वेष्टि॒ यं व॒यं द्वि॒ष्मः
ágné yát te háras ténā táṃ práti hara yó ’smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dvíṣmaḥ
O Agni, with that thy burning bolt—what heat is thine—smite him in requital, who hateth us, whom we ourselves do hate.
Hỡi Agni, với mũi tên sét rực cháy (haras)—với sức nóng của Ngài—hãy đánh trả, giáng xuống kẻ ghét chúng ta—kẻ mà chính chúng ta cũng ghét.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī; often classed under Atharvan/Āṅgirasa strata for such counter-charms)
Devata: Agni (as punitive and protective fire)
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; short imperative/relative construction typical of Atharvanic anuṣṭubh—verify against pada count in the edition used)
Primary: vira
Secondary: raudra
