Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 99

RV 1 99.1

जातवेदसे सुनवाम सोमम् अरातीयतो नि दहाति वेदः । स नः पर्षद् अति दुर्गाणि विश्वा नावेव सिन्धुꣳ दुरितात्य् अग्निः

jātavedase sunavāma somam arātīyato ni dahāti vedaḥ | sa naḥ parṣad ati durgāṇi viśvā nāveva sindhuṁ duritāty agniḥ

For Jātavedas let us press the Soma; may he burn down the possessions of the one who shows enmity. May he carry us across all hard passages, as across a river by boat, across the difficulties — (may) Agni (do so).

FOR Jâtavedas let us press the Soma: may he consume the wealth of the malignant. May Agni carry us through all our troubles, through grief as in a boat across the river.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
