For success against enemies

Down (áva) [be] the fury, down the drawn [arrow], down the two mind-yoked arms. O demolisher (parāçará), do thou vex (ard) away the vehemence (çúṣma) of them; then get us wealth.

English · William Dwight Whitney

The handless shaft, O gods, which ye cast at the handless ones—I hew [off] the arms of the foes with this oblation.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Indra made the handless one first for the Asuras. Let my warriors conquer by means of stanch Indra as ally (medín).
