Manyu Sūktam — the Vedic hymn to Manyu, divine righteous wrath (Ṛgveda 10.83–84), chanted for courage, strength, and victory over inner and outer foes.
Verse 1 — yaste manyo'vidhadvajra sāyaka saha ojaḥ…
Whoever has worshipped you, O Manyu — thunderbolt and arrow — grows ever in conquering might; with you as our ally we shall overcome every foe, within and without.
Manyu is Indra, yea the very God; Manyu is the priest, Varuṇa, and Jātavedas. All human clans revere Manyu — guard us, O Manyu, one in ardour with our striving.
Verse 3 — abhīhi manyo tavasastavīyāntapasā yujā vi jahi…
abhīhi manyo tavasastavīyāntapasā yujā vi jahi śatrūn | 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.
Verse 4 — tvaṃ hi manyo abhibhūtyojāḥ svayambhūrbhāmo…
For you, O Manyu, are of overwhelming vigour — self-born, fierce, subduer of assailants; shared by all peoples, victorious — grant us superior strength in every battle.
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.
Verse 6 — ayaṃ te asmyupa mehyarvāṅpratīcīnaḥ sahure…
agniriva manyo tviṣitaḥ sahasva senānīrnaḥ sahure hūta edhi | hatvāya śatrūnvi bhajasva veda ojo mimāno vi mṛdho nudasva ||
Blazing like fire, O conquering Manyu, come invoked as our army's leader; slay our foes and share their spoils; display your vigour and scatter all who hate us.
Overcome our assailants, O Manyu — breaking, crushing, trampling the foemen; none can bar your impetuous force. Mighty and sole-born, you bend all to your will.
Alone or among many you are worshipped, O Manyu — whet every clan's spirit for battle; with you beside us we shall raise the glorious shout of victory.
Victory-bringing like Indra, never turned back — be our sovereign ruler here, O Manyu; we sing your beloved name, O victor, and know the spring from which you came.
Verse 13 — ābhūtyā sahajā vajra sāyaka saho…
ābhūtyā sahajā vajra sāyaka saho bibharṣyabhibhūta uttaram | kratvā no manyo saha medyedhi mahādhanasya puruhūta saṃsṛji ||
Twin-born with power, thunderbolt and arrow, yours is the highest conquering might, O subduer; be gracious to us in spirit, O much-invoked Manyu, in the shock of the great battle.
saṃsṛṣṭaṃ dhanamubhayaṃ samākṛtamasmabhyaṃ dattāṃ varuṇaśca manyuḥ | bhiyaṃ dadhānā hṛdayeṣu śatravaḥ parājitāso apa ni layantām ||
Let Varuṇa and Manyu grant us the gathered wealth of both sides; and let our foes, stricken at heart and seized with terror, slink away in defeat.
