RV 10.18.9

धनुर् हस्ताद् आददानो मृतस्यास्मे क्षत्राय वर्चसे बलाय । अत्रैव त्वम् इह वयं सुवीरा विश्वा स्पृधो अभिमातीर् जयेम ॥

dhanur hastād ādadāno mṛtasyāsme kṣatrāya varcase balāya | atraiva tvam iha vayaṃ suvīrā viśvā spṛdho abhimātīr jayema ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

From his dead hand I take the bow be carried, that it may be our power and might and glory. There art thou, there; and here with noble heroes may we o'ercome all hosts that fight against us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
