HYMN LXXXII. Manyu.

HE who hath reverenced thee, Manyu, destructive bolt, breeds for himself forthwith all conquering energy.

ฤ€rya and Dฤsa will we conquer with thine aid, with thee the Conqueror, with conquest conquest-sped.

Manyu was Indra, yea, was Manyu, Manyu was Hotar, Indra, Jฤtavedas. The tribes of human lineage worship Manyu. Accordant with thy fervour, Manyu, guard us.

Come hither, Manyu, mightier tham the mighty; chase, with thy fervour for ally, our foemen. Slayer of foes, of Vแน›tra, and of Dasyu, bring thou to us all kinds of wealth and treasure.

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.

I have departed, still without a portion, wise Deva! according to thy will, the Mighty. I, feeble man, was wroth thee, O Manyu I am myself; come thou , to give us vigour.

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 subdue the Dasyus.

Approach, and on my right hand hold thy station: so shall we subdue a multitude of foemen. The best of meath I offer to support thee. May we be first to drink thereof in quiet.
