For victory

English · William Dwight Whitney

For victory

An overcomer (abhibhū́) [is] the sacrifice, an overcomer Agni, an overcomer Soma, an overcomer Indra; that I may overcome (abhi-as) all fighters, so would we, Agni-offerers, pay worship with this oblation.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Be there svadhā́, O Mitra-and-Varuṇa, inspired ones; fatten (pinv) ye here with honey our dominion, rich in progeny; drive off perdition far away; put away from us any committed sin.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Be ye excited after this formidable hero; take hold, O companions, after Indra, the troop-conqueror, kine-conqueror, thunderbolt-armed, conquering in the course (ájman), slaughtering with force.
