Sukta 83
Sukta 10.83
Manyu (personified) / traditionally attributed to a seer of the Manyu hymns (Book 10, late layer; specific attribution varies by Anukramaṇī)
Manyu (Wrath/Ardour as divine power, often linked with Indra)
Triṣṭubh (probable)
Is mantra mein Manyu ko bulaya ja raha hai. Manyu wo gussa aur josh hai jo ek taakatwar shakti ban jaata hai. Yeh Indra ki jeetne wali taakat ke saath hai. Manyu se maanga ja raha hai ki woh hamare saath ladai mein jud jaaye. Vrtra jaisi rukawaton aur dushman taakaton ke khilaf ladne mein madad kare. Manyu khud paida hua hai aur koi use rok nahi sakta. Woh har jagah kaam karta hai aur use hamare andar taakat daalne ko kaha ja raha hai. Ant mein Manyu ko dayen haath par rakha jaata hai aur use meetha ras chadhaya jaata hai.

Frequently Asked Questions
Manyu is divine ardour or sacred wrath—an overpowering, blazing force closely resembling Indra’s victorious energy. The hymn treats this ‘wrath’ as a deity that can be invoked and internalized as strength.
No. While it uses battle language (weapons, enemies, Vṛtra), it also points to inner struggle—overcoming fear, inertia, and inner division by placing Manyu’s ojas (force) within oneself.
The hymn ends by pouring the first essence of sweetness (Soma/madhu imagery) and inviting secret drinking. This symbolizes communion—taking Manyu’s power inward in a controlled, consecrated form.
