Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 6 — Chapter 97
AV 6 97.1
अभिभूर् यज्ञो अभिभूर् अग्निर् अभिभूः सोमो अभिभूर् इन्द्रः । अभ्य् अहं विश्वाः पृतना यथासान्य् एवा विधेमाग्निहोत्रा इदं हविः
abhibhūr yajño abhibhūr agnir abhibhūḥ somo abhibhūr indraḥ | abhy ahaṃ viśvāḥ pṛtanā yathāsāny evā vidhemāgnihotrā idaṃ haviḥ
Overcoming is the sacrifice, overcoming Agni, overcoming Soma, overcoming Indra. That I may overcome all hostile forces — so let us, having Agni as hotṛ, present this oblation.

The 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.

AV 6 97.2
स्वधास्तु मित्रावरुणा विपश्चिता प्रजावत् क्षत्रं मधुनेह पिन्वतम् । बाधेथां दूरं निरृतिं पराचैः कृतं चिद् एनः प्र मुमुक्तम् अस्मत्
svadhāstu mitrāvaruṇā vipaścitā prajāvat kṣatraṃ madhuneha pinvatam | bādhethāṃ dūraṃ nirṛtiṃ parācaiḥ kṛtaṃ cid enaḥ pra mumuktam asmat
Let it be an offering of self-power, O Mitra and Varuṇa, you two who discern the inspired words; swell here with honey a dominion rich in offspring. Thrust Nirṛti far off to distant regions; release from us even the guilt that has been done.

AV 6 97.3
इमं वीरम् अनु हर्षध्वम् उग्रम् इन्द्रं सखायो अनु सं रभध्वम् । ग्रामजितं गोजितं वज्रबाहुं जयन्तम् अज्म प्रमृणन्तम् ओजसा
imaṃ vīram anu harṣadhvam ugram indraṃ sakhāyo anu saṃ rabhadhvam | grāmajitaṃ gojitaṃ vajrabāhuṃ jayantam ajma pramṛṇantam ojasā
Cheer on this hero, you comrades, take hold together after the mighty Indra — the conqueror of villages, conqueror of cattle, with the vajra in his arm, winning the onset, crushing (it) with his strength.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
In 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.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
