4.32.1
yás te manyó 'vidhad vajra sāyaka sáha ójaḥ puṣyati víśvam ānuṣák |
sāhyā́ma dā́sam ā́ryaṃ tváyā yujā́ vayáṃ sáhaskr̥tena sáhasā sáhasvatā ||1||
He who hath worshiped thee, O fury, missile thunderbolt, gains (puṣ) power, force, everything, in succession; may we, with thee as ally, that art made of power, overpower the barbarian, the Aryan, with powerful power.
4.32.2
manyúr índro manyúr evā́sa devó manyúr hótā váruṇo jātávedāḥ |
manyúṃ víśa īḍate mā́nuṣīr yā́ḥ pahí no manyo tápasā sajóṣāḥ ||2||
Fury [was] Indra, fury indeed was a god; fury [was] priest (hótar), Varuṇa, Jātavedas; the clans (víç) which are descended from Manu (mā́nuṣa) praise fury; protect us, O fury, in accord with fervor (tápas).
4.32.3
abhī́hi manyo tavásas távīyān tápasā yujā́ ví jahi śátrūn |
amitrahā́ vr̥trahā́ dasyuhā́ ca víśvā vásūny ā́ bharā tváṃ naḥ ||3||
Attack, O fury, being mightier than a mighty one; with fervor as ally smite apart the foes; slayer of enemies, slayer of Vṛtra, and slayer of barbarians, do thou bring to us all [their] good things.
4.32.4
tváṃ hí manyo abhíbhūtyojāḥ svayaṃbhū́r bhā́mo abhimātiṣāháḥ |
viśvácarṣaṇiḥ sáhuriḥ sáhīyān asmā́sv ójaḥ pŕ̥tanāsu dhehi ||4||
Since thou, O fury, art of overcoming force, self-existent, terrible, overpowering hostile plotters, belonging to all men (-carṣaṇí), powerful, very powerful—do thou put in us force in fights.
4.32.5
abhāgáḥ sánn ápa páreto asmi táva krátvā taviṣásya pracetaḥ |
táṃ tvā manyo akratúr jihīḍāháṃ svā́ tanū́r baladā́vā na éhi ||5||
Being portionless, I am gone far away, by the action (? krátu) of thee that art mighty, O forethoughtful one; so at thee, O fury, I, actionless, was wrathful; come to us, thine own self (tanū́), giving strength.
4.32.6
ayáṃ te asmy úpa na éhy arvā́ṅ pratīcīnáḥ sahure viśvadāvan |
mányo vajrinn abhí na ā́ vavr̥tsva hánāva dásyūṃr utá bodhy āpéḥ ||6||
Here I am for thee; come hitherward unto us, meeting (pratīcīná) [us], O powerful, all-giving one; O thunderbolt-bearing fury, turn hither to us; let us (two) slay the barbarians; and do thou know thy partner (āpí).
4.32.7
abhí préhi dakṣiṇató bhavā nó 'dhā vr̥trā́ṇi jaṅghanāva bhū́ri |
juhómi te dharúṇaṃ mádhvo ágram ubhā́v upāṃśú prathamā́ pibāva ||7||
Go thou forth against [them]; be on our right hand; then will we (two) smite and slay many Vṛtras; I offer to thee the sustaining top of the sweet (mádhu); let us both drink first the initial draught (? upāṅçú).
