Example :

111. yaḥ kila dakṣaṃ vidruta-somaṃ kratuvaram
a-camasam apagata-kalaśaṃ
pātita-yūpaṃ kṣipta-caṣālaṃ vicayanam
a-samidham a-paśukam acarukam ।
kārmuka-muktenâśu cakāra vyapagata-
suragaṇa-pitṛ-gaṇam iṣuṇā
nityam asau te daitya-gaṇârīḥ pradahatu
makham iva ripu-gaṇam akhilam ॥

Let Śiva (lit. the foe of the demons) who by arrows discharged from his bow quickly spilled the Soma-juice, threw away the Camasa, broke the Kalaśa, felled the Yūpa, dislodged the Caṣāla, put out the fire, destroyed the fuel, scared away the [sacrificial] animals, spilled the Caru and put the gods and the Pitṛs to flight in Dakṣa's great sacrifice, always destroy all your enemies like the same (sacrifice).¹
