Bṛhaspati, the Angirases, the seers, skilled in sacred knowledge, have taken up the thunderbolt of Triṣandhi, the slayer of demons, as a weapon.

By which that Sun, well-guarded, and Indra both stand firm—Triṣandhi, the gods have apportioned for strength and might.
सर्वांल्लोकान्त्समजयन् देवा आहुत्यानया । बृहस्पतिराङ्गिरसो वज्रं यमसिञ्चतासुरक्षयणं वधम्
With this oblation, the gods conquered all the worlds; Bṛhaspati and the Angirases poured the thunderbolt, the slaying weapon of Triṣandhi, for the destruction of demons.
बृहस्पतिराङ्गिरसो वज्रं यमसिञ्चतासुरक्षयणं वधम् । तेनाहममूं सेनां नि लिम्पामि बृहस्पतेऽमित्रान् हन्म्योजसा
Bṛhaspati and the Angirases poured the thunderbolt, the slaying weapon of Triṣandhi, for the destruction of demons; with that, O Bṛhaspati, I besmear this army, with might I slay the enemies.

May all the gods come, the beloved oblation of Triṣandhi; protect the great alliance by which the demons were first conquered.
वायुरमित्राणामिष्वग्राण्याञ्चतु । इन्द्र एषां बाहून् प्रति भनक्तु मा शकन् प्रतिधामिषुम् । आदित्य एषामस्त्रं वि नाशयतु चन्द्रमा युतामगतस्य पन्थाम्
Let the wind turn back the arrows of the enemies; let Indra shatter their arms, let them not be able to aim at us; let Āditya destroy their weapons, and the Moon lead them on a path from which there is no return.
यदि प्रेयुर्देवपुरा ब्रह्म वर्माणि चक्रिरे । तनूपानं परिपाणं कृण्वाना यदुपोचिरे सर्वं तदरसं कृधि
If the gods of old went forth, having made prayers their armor, making their bodies a shield and protection, whatever they approached, make all that powerless.
क्रव्यादानुवर्तयन् मृत्युना च पुरोहितम् । त्रिषन्धे प्रेहि सेनया जयामित्रान् प्र पद्यस्व
Following the flesh-eaters and with Death as the priest, go forth, O Triṣandhi, with the army; conquer the enemies and advance.
त्रिषन्धे तमसा त्वममित्रान् परि वारय । पृषदाज्यप्रणुत्तानां मामीषां मोचि कश्चन
O Triṣandhi, with darkness surround the enemies; among those who have not offered clarified butter, let not one of them reach me.

{२९} मूढा अमित्रा न्यर्बुदे जह्येषां वरंवरम् । अनया जहि सेनया
Let the enemies be deluded in the abyss; let their chosen ones be destroyed again and again; with this army, strike them down.
यश्च कवची यश्चाकवचोऽमित्रो यश्चाज्मनि । ज्यापाशैः कवचपाशैरज्मनाभिहतः शयाम्
Whether the enemy is armored or unarmored, or rides in a chariot, let him be struck down by the snares of the armored, by the snares of the chariot, and lie defeated.

Let those who are wounded in their vital parts, who cry out, who are struck down and lie there, be devoured by great birds; whoever among the enemies opposes this westward offering of ours.
यां देवा अनुतिष्ठन्ति यस्या नास्ति विराधनम् । तयेन्द्रो हन्तु वृत्रहा वज्रेण त्रिषन्धिना
That offering which the gods observe, which cannot be resisted—may Indra, the slayer of Vṛtra, strike down with his thunderbolt of triple edge.
12.1 सत्यं बृहदृतमुग्रं दीक्षा तपो ब्रह्म यज्ञः पृथिवीं धारयन्ति । सा नो भूतस्य भव्यस्य पत्न्युरुं लोकं पृथिवी नः कृणोतु
