The Rig Veda/Mandala 10/Hymn 84

1. BORNE on with thee, O Manyu girt by Maruts, let our brave men, impetuous, bursting forward,
     March on, like flames of fire in form, exulting, with pointed arrows, sharpening their weapons.
2. Flashing like fire, be thou, O conquering Manyu, invoked, O Victor, as our army's leader.
     Slay thou our foes, distribute their possessions: show forth thy vigour, scatter those who hate us.
3. O Manyu, overcome thou our assailant on! breaking, slaying, crushing down the foemen.
     They have not hindered thine impetuous vigour: Mighty, Sole born! thou makest them thy subjects.
4. Alone or many thou art worshipped, Manyu: sharpen the spirit of each clan for battle.
     With thee to aid, O thou of perfect splendour, we will uplift the glorious shout for conquest.
5. Unyielding bringing victory like Indra, O Manyu, be thou here our Sovran Ruler.
     To thy dear name, O Victor, we sing praises: we know the spring from which thou art come hither.
6. Twin-born with power, destructive bolt of thunder, the highest conquering might is thine, Subduer!
     Be friendly to its in thy spirit, Manyu, O Much-invoked, in shock of mighty battle.
7. For spoil let Varuna and Manyu give us the wealth of both sides gathered and collected;
     And let our enemies with stricken spirits, o'erwhelmed with terror, slink away defeated.
