Sukta 93
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (requires anukramaṇī for exact seer)
Devata: Indra (with Manyu as empowered force)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like cadence (short martial verse; not strictly regular)
हा एकऋचा युद्धमंत्र मन्यु (युद्धक्रोध) यांच्या शक्तीने समर्थ झालेल्या इंद्राला आवाहन करतो की तो शत्रुत्वाने आक्रमण करणाऱ्या विरोधकावर झेप घेऊन, वृत्रसदृश सर्व अडथळे भेदून टाकावा. याचा प्रभाव अपोत्रोपायक व अभिचारिक आहे: शत्रूचा प्रतिकार निष्फळ करणे आणि साधकाची आगेकूच “अप्रतिहत” करणे हा याचा हेतू आहे.
