Rg Veda 3:24:1. AGNI, subdue opposing bands, and drive our enemies away.Invincible,slay godless foes: give splendor to the worshiper
(Atharva Veda 12:5:67) Strike off the shoulders and the head.
[V. 68] Snatch thou the hair from off his head, and from his body strip the skin:
[V. 69] Tear out his sinews, cause his flesh to fall in pieces from his frame.
[V. 70] Crush thou his bones together, strike and beat the marrow out of him.
[V. 71] Dislocate all his limbs and joints
(Atharva Veda 4:31:3) O Manyu, overcome those who assail us. On! breaking, slaying crushing down the foremen.They have not hindered thine impetuous vigor: mighty! sole born! reduce them to subjection.
(Rig Veda 1:CLXXVI:4) Slay everyone who pours no gift, who, hard to reach, delights thee not.Bestow on us what wealth he hath: this even the worshiper awaits
(Rg.Veda1:CXXXXII:1.) HELPED, Indra Maghavan, by thee in war of old, may we subdue in fight the men who strive with us, conquer the men who war with us.This day that now is close at hand bless him who pours the Soma juice.In this our sacrifice may we divide the spoil, showing our strength, the spoil of war.
(RV 6.0256.025.02) With these discomfit hosts that fight against us, and check the opponent’s wrath, thyself uninjured. With these chase all our foes to every quarter: subdue the tribes of Dasas to the Arya.
