HYMN XCVII

A prayer for the success and prosperity of a King 1. The 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. 9. Praise 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. 3. In 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.
