Atharva Veda
To crush an enemy
yad aśnāmi balaṃ kurva itthaṃ vajram ā dade skandhān amuṣya śātayan vṛtrasyeva śacīpatiḥ
To crush an enemy
When (yát) I eat, I make strength; thus do I take the thunderbolt, cutting to pieces (çat) the shoulders of him yonder, as Cachīpati of Vritra.
yat pibāmi saṃ pibāmi samudra iva saṃpibaḥ prāṇān amuṣya sampāya saṃ pibāmo amuṃ vayam
When I drink, I drink up, an up-drinker like the ocean; drinking up the breath of him yonder, we drink him up.
yad girāmi saṃ girāmi samudra iva saṃgiraḥ prāṇān amuṣya saṃgīrya saṃ girāmo amum vayam
When I swallow, I swallow up, a swallower-up like the ocean; swallowing up the breath of him yonder, we swallow him up.
