He fought, the strong one, he who made shafts, the wise seer ruling the battle—like a herd‑leader among men he became one, nourishing the ploughers of the fields together with his company.

He is ever the combatant, the donor, the engaged in battle, the sympathizer (with the sacrificer), the benefactor of many, the loud-sounding, the partaker of the stale libation, the stirrer up of dust (in strife), the chief protector of men the descendants of Manu, the endowed with strength.

He, Champion, Hero, Warrior, Lord of battles, impetuous, loudly roaring, great destroyer, Who whirls the dust on high, alone, oerthrower, hath made all races of mankind his subjects.
