Rig Veda 1.147.4
Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:
यो नो॑ अग्ने॒ अर॑रिवाँ अघा॒युर॑राती॒वा म॒र्चय॑ति द्व॒येन॑ । मन्त्रो॑ गु॒रुः पुन॑रस्तु॒ सो अ॑स्मा॒ अनु॑ मृक्षीष्ट त॒न्वं॑ दुरु॒क्तैः ॥
यो नो अग्ने अररिवाँ अघायुररातीवा मर्चयति द्वयेन । मन्त्रो गुरुः पुनरस्तु सो अस्मा अनु मृक्षीष्ट तन्वं दुरुक्तैः ॥
yo no agne ararivām̐ aghāyur arātīvā marcayati dvayena | mantro guruḥ punar astu so asmā anu mṛkṣīṣṭa tanvaṃ duruktaiḥ ||
English translation:

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
The epithets such as aghāya seem to refer to asmai (not to mantra); the allusion is to the use of maledictory prayers or imprecations
