Source: Rig Veda, Mandala 10, Suktas 83-84
Author: Rishi Manyu Tapasa (Vedic seer)
Period: Vedic period (c. 1500-1000 BCE)
The Manyu Suktam is found as the 83rd and 84th hymns of the tenth Mandala of the Rig Veda, revealed by the rishi Manyu Tapasa with Manyu as the deity. Manyu is the personification of fierce ardour and divine wrath — not blind rage, but the righteous, controlled intensity of power that destroys obstacles and evil. The hymn boldly equates Manyu with Indra, Varuna, Agni and all the gods, and the seeker prays to wield this inner fire as an ally in the battle of life. Across traditions it has been recited as an invocation of overwhelming protective power, associated variously with Shakti, Shiva, Narasimha and Hanuman.
