HYMN LXV
A sacrificial charm against enemies 1. The angry spirit hath relaxed: loose are the arms that act with mind. Do thou, destroyer, overcome and drive these foemen’s might away, and then bring opulence to us. 2. The shaft for handless fiends which, Gods! ye cast against the handless ones, With this, in shape of sacrifice, I rend the arms of enemies. 3. Indra made first for Asuras the shaft designed for handless foes: Victorious shall my heroes be with Indra as their constant friend.
