10,166 Sapatnanāśanam 
10.CLXVI Sapatnanāśanam 
r̥ṣabhám mā samānā́nāṃ sapátnānāṃ viṣāsahím |
hantā́raṃ śátrūṇāṃ kr̥dhi virā́jaṃ gópatiṃ gávām || 
1 MAKE me a bull among my peers, make me my rivals, conqueror: Make me the slayer of my foes, a sovran ruler, lord of kine 
ahám asmi sapatnahā́ índra 'vā́riṣṭo° ákṣataḥ |
adháḥ sapátnā me padór imé sárve abhíṣṭhitāḥ || 
2 I am my rivals’ slayer, like Indra unwounded and unhurt, And all these enemies of mine are vanquished and beneath my feet. 
átraivá vó 'pi nahyāmi ubhé ā́rtnī iva jyáyā |
vā́cas pate ní ṣedhemā́n yáthā mád ádharaṃ vádān || 
3 Here, verily, I bind you fast, as the two bow-ends with the string. Press down these men, O Lord of Speech, that they may humbly speak to me. 
abhibhū́r ahám ā́gamaṃ viśvákarmeṇa dhā́manā |
ā́ vaś cittám ā́ vo vratám ā́ vo 'háṃ sámitiṃ dade || 
4 Hither I came as conqueror with mighty all-effecting power, And I have mastered all your thought, your synod, and your holy work. 
yogakṣemáṃ va ādā́ya ahám bhūyāsam uttamá |
ā́ vo mūrdhā́nam akramīm adhaspadā́n ma úd vadata maṇḍū́kā iva udakā́n maṇḍū́kā udakā́d iva || 
5 May I be highest, having gained your strength in war, your skill in peace my feet have trodden on your heads. Speak to me from beneath my feet, as frogs from out the water croak, as frogs from out the water croak.
