Rig Veda 6.60.6
Sanskrit text [Accents, Plain, Transliterated]:
ह॒तो वृ॒त्राण्यार्या॑ ह॒तो दासा॑नि॒ सत्प॑ती । ह॒तो विश्वा॒ अप॒ द्विष॑: ॥
हतो वृत्राण्यार्या हतो दासानि सत्पती । हतो विश्वा अप द्विषः ॥
hato vṛtrāṇy āryā hato dāsāni satpatī | hato viśvā apa dviṣaḥ ||
English translation:
“Counteract all oppressions (committed) by the pious; counteract all oppressions (committed) by the impious; protectors of the virtuous, destroy all those who hate us.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
Hato vṛtrāṇi āryā hasto dāsāni: vṛtrāṇi and dāsāni are neuter and may not signify āryas and dāsas themselves; so, the interpretation is: āryaiḥ and dāsaiḥ kṛtāni, things done by them severally, that is, upadravajātāni, things genitive rated by violence or oppression and the like. This is a remarkable equivalence between āryas and dāsas
