Atharva Veda 3.1: A prayer or charm for the defeat and destruction of enemies in battle

Let the wise Agni go against our foemen, burning against ill-will and imprecation Let him bewilder our opponents' army, Let Jātavedas smite and make them handless.

Mighty are ye for such a deed, O Maruts. Go forward, overcome them and destroy them.
The Vasus slew, and these were left imploring. Wise Agni as our messenger assail them!

O Maghavan, O Indra, thou who slayest fiends, and, Agni, thou, Burn, both of you, against these men, the foeman's host that threatens us.

Shot down the slope, with thy two tawny coursers, forth go thy bolt, destroying foes, O Indra!
Slay those who fly, slay those who stand and follow.
On every side fulfil these men's intention.

Indra, bewilder thou the foemen's army.
With Agni's, Vāta's furious rush drive them away to every side.

Let Indra daze their army. Let the Maruts slay it with their might.
Let Agni take their eyes away, and let the conquered host retreat.
