RV 10 27.1

असत् सु मे जरितः साभिवेगो यत् सुन्वते यजमानाय शिक्षम् । अनाशीर्दाम् अहम् अस्मि प्रहन्ता सत्यध्वृतꣳ वृजिनायन्तम् आभुम्

asat su me jaritaḥ sābhivego yat sunvate yajamānāya śikṣam | anāśīrdām aham asmi prahantā satyadhvṛtaṁ vṛjināyantam ābhum

Surely, singer, this onrush of mine will be there, when I give help to the sacrificer who presses (soma). I am the striker-down of him who gives no milk-mixture, of the ābhu who wrongs the truth and acts crookedly.

When I was among unknown settlements, all who were there were bounteous givers to me. I conquer — or else I crush the ābhu who sits at ease: I smash him on the rock, seizing him by the foot.

They do not hold me back in the fray, nor do the mountains, when I set my mind on it. At my roar the short-eared one is afraid; and so day after day the dust(?) stirs together.
