HYMN CIV

The same

1We bind our foemen with a bond that binds them close and
   holds them fast.
  Their breath and respiration I dissever, and their lives from
   life.
2This bond, made keen by Indra, I have formed with heat of holy
   zeal.
  Securely bind our enemies, O Agni, who are standing here.
3Indra and Agni bind them fast, Soma the King, and both the
  Friends!
  May Indra, girt by Maruts, make a bond to bind our enemies.
