Griffith, [1895]\n1May Agni, he who knows, our envoy, meet them, burning\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0against ill-will and imprecation.\n \u00a0\u00a0May he bewilder our opponent's senses. May J\u0101tavedas smite and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0make them handless.\n 2This Agni hath bewildered all the senses that were in your\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0hearts:\n \u00a0\u00a0Now let him blast you from your home, blast you away from\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0every side.\n 3Dazing their senses, Indra, come hitherward with the wish and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0will.\n \u00a0\u00a0With Agni's, V\u0101ta's furious rush drive them to every side away.\n 4Vanish, ye hopes and plans of theirs, be ye confounded, all their\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0thoughts!\n \u00a0\u00a0Whatever wish is in their heart, do thou expel it utterly.\n 5Bewildering the senses of our foemen, seize on their bodies and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0depart, O Apv\u0101!\n \u00a0\u00a0Go meet them, flame within their hearts and burn them.
