TRANSLATION

Invocation: Lord Hari is the Supreme Whole.

O Manyu , the persons who worship You , who is like a thunderbolt, the destroyer of enemies, enjoys all power and strength combined, may we overcome our enemies with You as our friend, invigorating and strong.

Manyu

is Indra , He is Varuna and Agni . Those of human descent praise Manyu . Protect us Manyu , be pleased with our austerities.

Come to us Manyu , you who are the strongest of the strong. With austerity as your companion, overthrow our enemies. Give us spiritual wealth, O slayer of enemies, adversaries and foes.

Give us strength in battle, Manyu , O you who posses overpowering strength. You are self-existent, furious, the overthrower

of enemies, the beholder of all, enduring, and vigorous.

O Lord Manyu , not taking part in Your

worship (not offering oblations at the sacrifice) I was forced to retreat before my enemies. I avoided and neglected Your worship. Yet please be kind and give me strength.

I am Yours! Come to me, turn Your face towards me! O resister of the foes, sustainer of all, Manyu , the holder of a thunderbolt, come to me. Let us slay the demons, and help Your

devotees.

Approach me by my right side and let us slay a multitude of foes. I offer You

the best part of the Soma juice, let us drink it together in privacy.

REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

Manyu is a form of Lord Nrsimha , the personification and presiding Deity of anger.
