AV 19 66.1

अयोजाला असुरा मायिनो ऽयस्मयैः पाशैर् अङ्किनो ये चरन्ति । तांस् ते रन्धयामि हरसा जातवेदः सहस्रऋष्टिः सपत्नान् प्रमृणन् पाहि वज्रः

ayojālā asurā māyino 'yasmayaiḥ pāśair aṅkino ye caranti | tāṃs te randhayāmi harasā jātavedaḥ sahasraṛṣṭiḥ sapatnān pramṛṇan pāhi vajraḥ

The Asuras with iron nets, the wielders of magic, who go about hooked with fetters made of iron—those I make subject to you by your heat, O Jātavedas; with a thousand spears, crushing the rivals, protect (us), O thunderbolt.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

The Asuras with iron nets, magicians, who roam about with hooks and bonds of iron, With wrath I make thy thralls, O Jātavedas. Come as a bolt foe- quelling, thousand pointed.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
