Atharvaveda 5.8

With fuel of víkan̄kata do thou carry the sacrificial butter to the gods; O Agni, make them revel here; let all come to my call.

O Indra, come to my call; this will I do; that hear thou; let these over-runners (? atisará) of Indra's bring to pass (sam-nam) my design; by them may we be equal to (çak) heroism, O Jātavedas, self-controller.

What he there yonder, O gods, being godless, desires to do—let not Agni carry his oblation; let not the gods go to his call; come ye only (evá) unto my call.

Overrun (ati-dhāv), ye over-runners; slay by Indra's spell (vácas); shake (math) ye as a wolf [shakes] a sheep; let him not be released from you alive; shut up his breath.

What brahmán they yonder have put forward for failure (åpabhūti), [be] he beneath thy feet, O Indra; him I cast unto death.

If they have gone forward to the gods' strongholds (-purā), have made incantation (bráhman) their defenses—if (? yát) making a body-protection, a complete protection, they have encouraged themselves (upa-vac): all that do thou make sapless.

What over-runners he yonder has made, and what he shall make, do thou, O Indra, Vṛtra-slayer, turn (ā-kṛ) them back again, that they may shatter (tṛh) yon person (jána).

As Indra, taking Udvācana, put [him] underneath his feet, so do I put down them yonder, through everlasting (çáçvat) years (sámā).

Here, O Indra, Vṛtra-slayer, do thou, formidable, pierce them in the vitals; just here do thou trample upon them; O Indra, thine ally am I; we take hold on thee, O Indra; may we be in thy favor.
