र॒क्षो॒हणं॑ वा॒जिन॒मा जि॑घर्मि मि॒त्रं प्रथि॑ष्ठ॒मुप॑ यामि॒ शर्म॑ ।
शिशा॑नो अ॒ग्निः क्रतु॑भिः॒ समि॑द्धः॒ स नो॒ दिवा॒ स रि॒षः पा॑तु॒ नक्त॑म् ॥
Killer of demons, strong, I hurl him forth; I go to the shelter of the broadest friend. Agni, kindled and lit by our sacred acts, may he protect us by day and guard us from harm by night.
10.87.2
अयो॑दंष्ट्रो अ॒र्चिषा॑ यातु॒धाना॒नुप॑ स्पृश जातवेदः॒ समि॑द्धः ।
आ जि॒ह्वया॒ मूर॑देवान्रभस्व क्र॒व्यादो॑ वृ॒क्त्व्यपि॑ धत्स्वा॒सन् ॥
Iron-jawed Agni with flame, touch the sorcerers; O Jātavedas, blazing. With your tongue seize the foolish gods; cut off the flesh-eaters and set them in their own mouths.
10.87.3
उ॒भोभ॑यावि॒न्नुप॑ धेहि॒ दंष्ट्रा॑ हिं॒स्रः शिशा॒नोऽव॑रं॒ परं॑ च ।

ताभि॑र्विध्य॒ हृद॑ये यातु॒धाना॑न्प्रती॒चो बा॒हून्प्रति॑ भङ्ध्येषाम् ॥
O Agni, bending arrows by sacrifices and whetting spears and thunderbolts by speech; pierce the sorcerers in the heart with them, and break their arms that are turned against them.
10.87.5
अग्ने॒ त्वचं॑ यातु॒धान॑स्य भिन्धि हिं॒स्राशनि॒र्हर॑सा हन्त्वेनम् ।
प्र पर्वा॑णि जातवेदः शृणीहि क्र॒व्यात्क्र॑वि॒ष्णुर्वि चि॑नोतु वृ॒क्णम् ॥
O Agni, split the sorcerer's skin; may the fierce thunderbolt strike him with its sharp edge. Split his limbs apart, O Jātavedas, hear us. May the flesh-eating Kraviṣṇu separate him and sever the cut-off one.
10.87.6
यत्रे॒दानीं॒ पश्य॑सि जातवेद॒स्तिष्ठ॑न्तमग्न उ॒त वा॒ चर॑न्तम् ।

अग्ने॒ पूर्वो॒ नि ज॑हि॒ शोशु॑चान आ॒मादः॒ क्ष्विङ्का॒स्तम॑द॒न्त्वेनीः॑ ॥
Free us from the sorcerer who has seized us, O Jātavedas. O Agni, foremost, strike him down; let the blazing, sharp-tongued flames devour him.

तमा र॑भस्व स॒मिधा॑ यविष्ठ नृ॒चक्ष॑स॒श्चक्षु॑षे रन्धयैनम् ॥
Declare here which one, O Agni, is the sorcerer who does this. Kindle him with fuel, O youngest, and set him in the way of destruction, for the eye of Agni who sees all men.

ती॒क्ष्णेना॑ग्ने॒ चक्षु॑षा रक्ष य॒ज्ञं प्राञ्चं॒ वसु॑भ्यः॒ प्र ण॑य प्रचेतः ।
हिं॒स्रं रक्षां॑स्य॒भि शोशु॑चानं॒ मा त्वा॑ दभन्यातु॒धाना॑ नृचक्षः ॥
With your sharp eye, O Agni, guard the sacrifice; lead it forward for the Vasus, O wise one. Hurl your flame upon the savage demons who blaze; O man-seer, may the sorcerers never touch you.

नृ॒चक्षा॒ रक्षः॒ परि॑ पश्य वि॒क्षु तस्य॒ त्रीणि॒ प्रति॑ शृणी॒ह्यग्रा॑ ।
तस्या॑ग्ने पृ॒ष्टीर्हर॑सा शृणीहि त्रे॒धा मूलं॑ यातु॒धान॑स्य वृश्च ॥

10.87.12
तद॑ग्ने॒ चक्षुः॒ प्रति॑ धेहि रे॒भे श॑फा॒रुजं॒ येन॒ पश्य॑सि यातु॒धान॑म् ।
अ॒थ॒र्व॒वज्ज्योति॑षा॒ दैव्ये॑न स॒त्यं धूर्व॑न्तम॒चितं॒ न्यो॑ष ॥
O Agni, place that eye upon the striped beast, by which you see the hook-clawed sorcerer. Like Atharvan, with divine light, burn down the unseen one who strikes Truth.
10.87.13
यद॑ग्ने अ॒द्य मि॑थु॒ना शपा॑तो॒ यद्वा॒चस्तृ॒ष्टं ज॒नय॑न्त रे॒भाः ।
म॒न्योर्मन॑सः शर॒व्या॑ जाय॑ते॒ या तया॑ विध्य॒ हृद॑ये यातु॒धाना॑न् ॥
O Agni, when today the two curse, and when the sages generated it from the pain of speech, pierce the sorcerers in the heart with the dart born from the mind of Manyu's wrath.

वा॒चास्ते॑नं॒ शर॑व ऋच्छन्तु॒ मर्म॒न्विश्व॑स्यैतु॒ प्रसि॑तिं यातु॒धानः॑ ॥
Today may the gods drive away the crooked; may the curses turn back toward him and go away in pain. May the arrows reach the speech-thief in his vital spot; may the sorcerer receive the downfall of all.
10.87.16
यः पौरु॑षेयेण क्र॒विषा॑ सम॒ङ्क्ते यो अश्व्ये॑न प॒शुना॑ यातु॒धानः॑ ।
यो अ॒घ्न्याया॒ भर॑ति क्षी॒रम॑ग्ने॒ तेषां॑ शी॒र्षाणि॒ हर॒सापि॑ वृश्च ॥
Whoever joins together with human craft, who with horse and cattle is a sorcerer, who bears off the milk of the barren cow — O Agni, cut off their heads with flame.

वि॒षं गवां॑ यातु॒धानाः॑ पिबन्तु॒ आ वृ॑श्च्यन्ता॒मदि॑तये दु॒रेवाः॑ ।
परै॑नान्दे॒वः स॑वि॒ता द॑दातु॒ परा॑ भा॒गमोष॑धीनां जयन्ताम् ॥
May the sorcerers drink the poison of the cows; may the evil-goers be cut off for Aditi. May the god Savitar give them away far off; may the portion of the herbs be conquered from afar.
10.87.19
स॒नाद॑ग्ने मृणसि यातु॒धाना॒न्न त्वा॒ रक्षां॑सि॒ पृत॑नासु जिग्युः ।
अनु॑ दह स॒हमू॑रान्क्र॒व्यादो॒ मा ते॑ हे॒त्या मु॑क्षत॒ दैव्या॑याः ॥
O Agni, since long ago you have destroyed the sorcerer-demons; when the Rakṣases came to conquer you in battles, you burned them. Burn the mighty, flesh-eating ones; let them not escape the blow of your divine weapon.
10.87.20
त्वं नो॑ अग्ने अध॒रादुद॑क्ता॒त्त्वं प॒श्चादु॒त र॑क्षा पु॒रस्ता॑त् ।
प्रति॒ ते ते॑ अ॒जरा॑स॒स्तपि॑ष्ठा अ॒घशं॑सं॒ शोशु॑चतो दहन्तु ॥
O Agni, protect us from below, from the north, from behind, and from the front. May your ageless, most fiery flames burn the evil-speaker, the one who burns with blazing flames.
10.87.21
प॒श्चात्पु॒रस्ता॑दध॒रादुद॑क्तात्क॒विः काव्ये॑न॒ परि॑ पाहि राजन् ।

O king, O friend, protect us all around—from behind, from the front, from below, from the north—as a wise one with your word. O Agni, immortal, protect mortals as an ageless friend even in old age; you are immortal, protect us.
10.87.22
परि॑ त्वाग्ने॒ पुरं॑ व॒यं विप्रं॑ सहस्य धीमहि ।
धृ॒षद्व॑र्णं दि॒वेदि॑वे ह॒न्तारं॑ भङ्गु॒राव॑ताम् ॥
O Agni, O mighty one, we kindle you all around—you, the wise one who is a fortress. Of bright hue, you are the slayer of the destructive ones, day by day.

अग्ने॑ ति॒ग्मेन॑ शो॒चिषा॒ तपु॑रग्राभिर्ऋ॒ष्टिभिः॑ ॥
With poison, against the one of bright hue, burn indeed the Rakṣases. O Agni, with the sharp flame, with the hot-tipped spears.

सं त्वा॑ शिशामि जागृ॒हि अद॑ब्धं विप्र॒ मन्म॑भिः ॥
O Agni, burn the pair of sorcerer-demons, the two Kimidins together. O sage, I rouse and sharpen you with hymns; awaken, undeceived.

या॒तु॒धान॑स्य र॒क्षसो॒ बलं॒ वि रु॑ज वी॒र्य॑म् ॥
O Agni, with your flame against the flame, hear us from every side. Shatter the strength of the sorcerer-demons and the rakshasas; break their power apart.
