Sukta 93

शत्रुनाशनम्। इन्द्रे॑ण म॒न्युना॑ व॒यम॒भि ष्या॑म पृतन्य॒तः । घ्नन्तो॑ वृ॒त्राण्य॑प्र॒ति

śatrunā́śanam | índreṇa manyúnā vayám abhí syāma pṛtanyatáḥ | ghnántaḥ vṛtrā́ṇy apratí

For the destruction of the foe: With Indra, with battle-wrath, may we press upon the battling enemy, smiting the Vr̥tra-like obstacles, irresistible.

यह मंत्र दुश्मन को हराने के लिए है। हम इंद्र के साथ मिल के लड़ाई में आगे बढ़ते हैं। जो लोग हमारे रास्ते में रोकने की कोशिश करते हैं, उनको हम तोड़ के आगे बढ़ते हैं। कोई हमें रोक नहीं सकता।
