Rig Veda
आजि॑पते नृपते॒ त्वमिद्धि नो॒ वाज॒ आ व॑क्षि सुक्रतो । वी॒ती होत्रा॑भिरु॒त दे॒ववी॑तिभिः सस॒वांसो॒ वि शृ॑ण्विरे ॥ आजिपते नृपते त्वमिद्धि नो वाज आ वक्षि सुक्रतो । वीती होत्राभिरुत देववीतिभिः ससवांसो वि शृण्विरे ॥
O lord of battle, lord of men, mighty in action, do you guide us in the conflict; far-famed are those whoobtain their desires by sacrificial feasts, by invocations, and by entertaining the gods.
