amitrahā vṛtrahā dasyuhā ca viśvā vasūnyā bharā tvaṃ naḥ ||

Come to us, O Manyu, mightier than the mighty; with fervour as your ally, scatter our enemies. Slayer of foes, of Vṛtra, of the Dasyus — bring us every blessing.

taṃ tvā manyo akraturjihīl̤āhaṃ svā tanūrbaladeyāya mehi ||

I had turned away, portionless, by the will of you the mighty, O far-seeing one; I, lacking resolve, offended you, O Manyu — come to me yourself to grant me strength.
