4.16.7

śaténa pā́śair abhí dhehi varuṇainaṃ mā́ te mocy anr̥tavā́ṅ nr̥cakṣaḥ |
ā́stāṃ jālmá udáraṃ śraṃśayitvā́ kóśa ivābandháḥ parikr̥tyámānaḥ ||7||

With a hundred fetters, O Varuṇa, do thou bridle (abhi-dhā) him; let not the speaker of untruth escape thee, O men-watcher; let the villain sit letting his belly fall [apart], like a hoopless vessel, being cut round about.

William Dwight Whitney 1905, Atharva-Veda Saṃhitā (HOS 7–8)
