1. HE who hath reverenced
thee, Manyu, destructive bolt, breeds for himself forthwith all conquering
energy.
Arya and Dasa will we conquer with thine aid,
with thee the Conqueror, with conquest conquest-sped.
2 Manyu was Indra, yea, the
God, was Manyu, Manyu was Hotar, Varuna, Jatavedas.
The tribes of human lineage worship Manyu.
Accordant with thy fervour, Manyu, guard us.
3 Come hither, Manyu, mightier
tham the mighty; chase, with thy fervour for ally, our foemen.
Slayer of foes, of Vrtra, and of Dasyu, bring
thou to us all kinds of wealth and treasure.
4 For thou art, Manyu, of
surpassing vigour, fierce, queller of the foe, and self-existent,
Shared by all men, victorious, subduer:
vouchsafe to us superior strengith in battles.
5 I have departed, still
without a portion, wise God! according to thy will, the Mighty.
I, feeble man, was wroth thee, O Manyu I am
myself; come thou to give me vigour.
6 Come hither. I am all thine
own; advancing turn thou to me, Victorious, All-supporter!
Come to me, Manyu, Wielder of the Thunder:
bethink thee of thy friend, and slay the Dasyus.
7 Approach, and on my right
hand hold thy station: so shall we slay a multitude of foemen.
The best of meath I offer to support thee: may
we be first to drink thereof in quiet.
