HYMN XCVII

A prayer for the success and prosperity of a King

1The sacrifice is victor, Agni victor, victorious is Soma, Indra
conquers:
So will we bring oblation unto Agni, this sacrifice that I may
win all battles.
9Praise to you, Mitra-Varupa, hymn-singers! Here swell with
meath dominion blest with children.
Far into distant regions drive Destruction, and even from
committed sin absolve us.
3In this strong hero be ye glad and joyful: cleave ye to him even
as ye cleave to Indra.
Victorious, kine-winner, thunder-wielder, who quells a host and
with his might destroys it.
