HYMN XCVII

A prayer for the success and prosperity of a King

1The sacrifice is victor, Agni victor, victorious is Soma, Indra
  conquers:
 So will we bring oblation unto Agni, this sacrifice that I may
  win all battles.
9Praise to you, Mitra-Varupa, hymn-singers! Here swell with
  meath dominion blest with children.
 Far into distant regions drive Destruction, and even from
  committed sin absolve us.
3In this strong hero be ye glad and joyful: cleave ye to him even
  as ye cleave to Indra.
 Victorious, kine-winner, thunder-wielder, who quells a host and
  with his might destroys it.
