Rishi: Atharva

O Indra, the slayer of Vritra, vanquisher of enemies and supreme warrior. Be the one to lead us ways from fear granting us freedom. Drinker of Soma, grant us health. The ruler of all creatures.

O Indra, destroy the enemies that seek to cause us harm and bring them down. Send to the darkness below.

Annihilate the demons and the enemies that are hostile towards us. Break Vritra's jaw, O killer of Vritra, Indra. Destroy the anger.

Cast confusion on the minds of our enemies and let their weapons become confused. Protect us and provide safety from our inimical enemies that wish to harm us. Let their thrust not find us.
