Victory-working, like Indra, unrebukable, be thou here our over-lord, O Manyu. Thy dear Name, O overpowering One, we hymn; we know that well-spring whence thou hast arisen.
Rishi: Angiras/Atharvanic seer-tradition (Manyu-hymn complex; r̥ṣi attribution varies in ancillary lists)
Devata: Manyu (personified Wrath), with Indra as comparative paradigm
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; Manyu hymns frequently employ triṣṭubh cadence)
