Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka) 4.32

यस् ते मन्यो ऽविधद् वज्र सायक सह ओजः पुष्यति विश्वम् आनुषक् । साह्याम दासम् आर्यं त्वया युजा वयं सहस्कृतेन सहसा सहस्वता ॥१॥

yas te manyo 'vidhad vajra sāyaka saha ojaḥ puṣyati viśvam ānuṣak | sāhyāma dāsam āryaṃ tvayā yujā vayaṃ sahaskṛtena sahasā sahasvatā ||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.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

मन्युर् इन्द्रो मन्युर् एवास देवो मन्युर् होता वरुणो जातवेदाः । मन्युं विश ईडते मानुषीर् याः पहि नो मन्यो तपसा सजोषाः ॥२॥

manyur indro manyur evāsa devo manyur hotā varuṇo jātavedāḥ | manyuṃ viśa īḍate mānuṣīr yāḥ pahi no manyo tapasā sajoṣāḥ ||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).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अभीहि मन्यो तवसस् तवीयान् तपसा युजा वि जहि शत्रून् । अमित्रहा वृत्रहा दस्युहा च विश्वा वसून्य् आ भरा त्वं नः ॥३॥

abhīhi manyo tavasas tavīyān tapasā yujā vi jahi śatrūn | amitrahā vṛtrahā dasyuhā ca viśvā vasūny ā bharā tvaṃ 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.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

त्वं हि मन्यो अभिभूत्योजाः स्वयंभूर् भामो अभिमातिषाहः । विश्वचर्षणिः सहुरिः सहीयान् अस्मास्व् ओजः पृतनासु धेहि ॥४॥

tvaṃ hi manyo abhibhūtyojāḥ svayaṃbhūr bhāmo abhimātiṣāhaḥ | viśvacarṣaṇiḥ sahuriḥ sahīyān asmāsv ojaḥ pṛtanāsu 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.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अभागः सन्न् अप परेतो अस्मि तव क्रत्वा तविषस्य प्रचेतः । तं त्वा मन्यो अक्रतुर् जिहीडाहं स्वा तनूर् बलदावा न एहि ॥५॥

abhāgaḥ sann apa pareto asmi tava kratvā taviṣasya pracetaḥ | taṃ tvā manyo akratur jihīḍāhaṃ svā tanūr baladāvā na ehi ||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.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अयं ते अस्म्य् उप न एह्य् अर्वाङ् प्रतीचीनः सहुरे विश्वदावन् । मन्यो वज्रिन्न् अभि न आ ववृत्स्व हनाव दस्यूंर् उत बोध्य् आपेः ॥६॥

ayaṃ te asmy upa na ehy arvāṅ pratīcīnaḥ sahure viśvadāvan | manyo vajrinn abhi na ā vavṛtsva hanāva dasyūṃr uta bodhy āpeḥ ||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).

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अभि प्रेहि दक्षिणतो भवा नो ऽधा वृत्राणि जङ्घनाव भूरि । जुहोमि ते धरुणं मध्वो अग्रम् उभाव् उपांशु प्रथमा पिबाव ॥७॥

abhi prehi dakṣiṇato bhavā no 'dhā vṛtrāṇi jaṅghanāva bhūri | juhomi te dharuṇaṃ madhvo agram ubhāv upāṃśu prathamā 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).
