Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com
1What energy the lion hath, the tiger, adder, and burning fire,
Brāhman, or Sūrya,
And the blest Goddess who gave birth to Indra, come unto us
conjoined with strength and vigour!
2All energy of elephant and panther, all energy of gold, men, kine,
and waters, p. a217
And the blest Goddess who gave birth to Indra come unto us
conjoined with strength and vigour.
3Might in car, axles, in the strong bull's courage, in Varuna's
breath, in Vāta, in Parjanya,
In Warrior, in the war-drum stretched for battle, in the man's
roar and in the horse's mettle,
May the blest Goddess who gave birth to Indra come unto us
conjoined with strength and vigour.
