7 In your impetuous manner think ye both thereon:- destroy these evil beings, slay the treacherous fiends.
Indra and Soma, let the wicked have no bliss who evermore assails us with malignity.

RV 7-104-8

यो मा॒ पाके॑न॒ मन॑सा॒ चर॑न्तमभि॒चष्टे॒ अनृ॑तेभि॒र्वचो॑भिः ।

8 Whoso accuses me with words of falsehood when I pursue my way with guileless spirit,
May he, the speaker of untruth, be, Indra, like water which the hollowed hand compresses.

9 Those who destroy, as is their wont, the simple, and with their evil natures barm the righteous,
May Soma give them over to the serpent, or to the lap of Nirrti consign them.

ri̱puḥ ste̱naḥ stḙya̱kṛdda̱bhramḙtu̱ ni ṣa hī̭yatāṃ ta̱nvā̱3̱̭ tanā̭ ca || 7-104-10||

10 The fiend, O Agni, who designs to injure the essence of our food, kine, steeds, or bodies,
May he, the adversary, thief, and robber, sink to destruction, both himself and offipring.

प॒रः सो अ॑स्तु त॒न्वा॒३॒॑ तना॑ च ति॒स्रः पृ॑थि॒वीर॒धो अ॑स्तु॒ विश्वाः॑ ।

prati̭ śuṣyatu̱ yaśo̭ asya devā̱ yo no̱ divā̱ dipsa̭ti̱ yaśca̱ nakta̭m || 7-104-11||

11 May he be swept away, himself and children:- may all the three earths press him down beneath them.
May his fair glory, O ye Gods, be blighted, who in the day or night would fain destroy us.

tayo̱ryatsa̱tyaṃ ya̭ta̱radṛjī̭ya̱staditsomo̭'vati̱ hantyāsa̭t || 7-104-12||

12 The prudent finds it easy to distinguish the true and false:- their words oppose each other.
Of these two that which is the true and honest, Soma protects, and brings the false to nothing.

RV 7-104-13

न वा उ॒ सोमो॑ वृजि॒नं हि॑नोति॒ न क्ष॒त्रियं॑ मिथु॒या धा॒रय॑न्तम् ।

hanti̱ rakṣo̱ hantyāsa̱dvada̭ntamu̱bhāvindra̭sya̱ prasi̭tau śayāte || 7-104-13||

13 Never doth Soma aid and guide the wicked or him who falsely claims the Warrior's title.
He slays the fiend and him who speaks untruly:- both lie entangled in the noose of Indra.

RV 7-104-14

यदि॑ वा॒हमनृ॑तदेव॒ आस॒ मोघं॑ वा दे॒वाँ अ॑प्यू॒हे अ॑ग्ने ।

14 As if I worshipped deities of falsehood, or thought vain thoughts about the Gods, O Agni.
Why art thou angry with us, Jātavedas? Destruction fall on those who lie against thee!

15 So may I die this day if I have harassed any man's life or if I be a demon.
Yea, may he lose all his ten sons together who with false tongue hath called me Yātudhāna.

indra̱staṃ ha̭ntu maha̱tā va̱dhena̱ viśva̭sya ja̱ntora̭dha̱maspa̭dīṣṭa || 7-104-16||

16 May Indra slay him with a mighty weapon, and let the vilest of all creatures perish,
The fiend who says that he is pure, who calls me a demon though devoid of demon nature.

RV 7-104-17

प्र या जिगा॑ति ख॒र्गले॑व॒ नक्त॒मप॑ द्रु॒हा त॒न्वं१॒॑ गूह॑माना ।

va̱vrā~ a̭na̱ntā~ ava̱ sā pa̭dīṣṭa̱ grāvā̭ṇo ghnantu ra̱kṣasa̭ upa̱bdaiḥ || 7-104-17||

17 She too who wanders like an owl at night-time, hiding her body in her guile and malice,
May she fall downward into endless caverns. May press-stones with loud ring destroy the demons.

RV 7-104-18

वि ति॑ष्ठध्वं मरुतो वि॒क्ष्वि१॒॑च्छत॑ गृभा॒यत॑ र॒क्षसः॒ सं पि॑नष्टन ।

vi ti̭ṣṭhadhvaṃ maruto vi̱kṣvi1̱̭cchata̭ gṛbhā̱yata̭ ra̱kṣasa̱ḥ saṃ pi̭naṣṭana |

vayo̱ ye bhū̱tvī pa̱taya̭nti na̱ktabhi̱rye vā̱ ripo̭ dadhi̱re de̱ve a̭dhva̱re || 7-104-18||

18 Spread out, ye Maruts, search among the people:- seize ye and grind the Rākṣasas to pieces,
Who fly abroad, transformed to birds, at night-time, or sully and pollute our holy worship.

RV 7-104-19

प्र व॑र्तय दि॒वो अश्मा॑नमिन्द्र॒ सोम॑शितं मघव॒न्सं शि॑शाधि ।

प्राक्ता॒दपा॑क्तादध॒रादुद॑क्ताद॒भि ज॑हि र॒क्षसः॒ पर्व॑तेन ॥ ७-१०४-१९॥

19 Hurl down from heaven thy bolt of stone, O Indra:- sharpen it, Maghavan, made keen by Soma.
Forward, behind, and from above and under, smite down the demons with thy rocky weapon.

RV 7-104-20

ए॒त उ॒ त्ये प॑तयन्ति॒ श्वया॑तव॒ इन्द्रं॑ दिप्सन्ति दि॒प्सवोऽदा॑भ्यम् ।

śiśī̭te śa̱kraḥ piśṷnebhyo va̱dhaṃ nū̱naṃ sṛ̭jada̱śani̭ṃ yātu̱madbhya̭ḥ || 7-104-20||

20 They fly, the demon dogs, and, bent on mischief, fain would they harm indomitable Indra.
Śakra makes sharp his weapon for the wicked:- now, let him cast his bolt at fiendish wizards.

RV 7-104-21

इन्द्रो॑ यातू॒नाम॑भवत्पराश॒रो ह॑वि॒र्मथी॑नाम॒भ्या॒३॒॑विवा॑सताम् ।

a̱bhīdṷ śa̱kraḥ pa̭ra̱śuryathā̱ vana̱ṃ pātrḙva bhi̱ndansa̱ta ḙti ra̱kṣasa̭ḥ || 7-104-21||

21 Indra hath ever been the fiends’ destroyer who spoil oblations of the Gods’ invokers:-
Yea, Śakra, like an axe that splits the timber, attacks and smashes them like earthen vessels.

RV 7-104-22

उलू॑कयातुं शुशु॒लूक॑यातुं ज॒हि श्वया॑तुमु॒त कोक॑यातुम् ।

22 Destroy the fiend shaped like an owl or owlet, destroy him in the form of dog or cuckoo.
Destroy him shaped as eagle or as vulture as with a stone, O Indra, crush the demon.

23 Let not the fiend of witchcraft-workers reach us:- may Dawn drive off the couples of Kimīdins.
Earth keep us safe from earthly woe and trouble:- from grief that comes from heaven mid-air preserve us.

RV 7-104-24

इन्द्र॑ ज॒हि पुमां॑सं यातु॒धान॑मु॒त स्त्रियं॑ मा॒यया॒ शाश॑दानाम् ।

24 Slay the male demon, Indra! slay the female, joying and triumphing in arts of magic.
Let the fools' gods with bent necks fall and perish, and see no more the Sun when he arises.
