Sukta 6.75
धन्वना गा धन्वनाजिं जयेम धन्वना तीव्राः समदो जयेम । धनुः शत्रोरपकामं कृणोति धन्वना सर्वाः प्रदिशो जयेम ॥

By the bow may we win the cows (rays of light), by the bow may we win the battle, by the bow may we win the fierce encounters. The bow makes the enemy’s will fall away; by the bow may we win all the directions (all fields of movement of consciousness).
