Vedas command man to be victorious. Overwhelmed by the desire for Victory as commandeered by Vedas the Vedic hero declares at the top of his voice
Kritham me dakshine haste jayo me savya ahitah|
Gojid Bhuyasamashchid dananjayo hiranyajit||
Atharveda 7.50.8
Karma rests with my left hand. So also are efforts. And in my right hand rests the victory. With my endeavor I have mastered the senses, won the land and the cow wealth. I have obtained victories over the states, horses. Let me score victory over the wealth and Dharma.
With this yearning for Victory, Veda sends a message.
Itho jayetho vijaya sam jaya jaya swaaha|
Ime jayanthu paraami jayanthaam swahebhyo durahamibhyah||
Atharveda 8.8.24
Hey! The warrior! Obtain the victory here. Obtain victory here and here alone. Obtain Victory soundly. Let the world sing your glory of success and fame. Let our soldiers be victorious. Let the enemies bite the dust. Let good famed place be got by our soldiers. Let the ill fame befall on enemies.
Vedas also suggest the plan to obtain Victory.
Yushaamkamastu tavashee paneeyasee maa martysya maayenah||
Rigveda 1.39.2
Hey! The warriors! Let your arms be firmly capable of driving away the enemies and keep them at bay. Hey! The warrior! Let your army be highly skillful, practical and laudable. But let not these arms and the army is of the type belonging to man indulging in deceitful war.
Dhanyana gaa dhanvanaajim jayema dhanvana thivraah samudho jayema|
Dhanuh shatrora pakaam krinothi dhanvana sarvaah pradisho jayema ||
Yajurveda 29.39
Let us win the cows and land with the help of our arms. Let us conquer the battles with the strength of arms. Let us overcome the army steeped in indulgence and intoxication. Let our arms smash the desire of victory of enemies. Let us be victorious on all four sides.
Madveetha vo jeevanmaa mochi praanamasyaapi nahritha||
Atharveda5.8.4
Hey! The irresistible fighters! Move, Forward, March. Destroy the enemies as per the order of your king. Just as the way the wolf kills the sheep, you destroy the enemy by stamping out them. But beware! Let you not allow the enemy to escape. Take away the life of your enemies.
But it is necessary to remember one vital point. Who gets the victory? Vedas loudly declare,
Rigveda8.16.5
He who is helped by God [Indra] alone becomes victorious. Hence, those desiring Victory should befriend God and say,
Vayam jayema tvaya yuja vrithamasmakamamsha mudavaa bhare bhare|
Asabhyamyndra vareeyah sugam kridi pra shatrunaam maghavan vashnya rujah||
Atharvaveda 7.50.4
O God! All powerful Lord! By associating with and with your blessings let us obtain victory. You help us in our every fight. Make our fight easier and help us to obtain victory easily.
Mahyam namantaam pradi chatasrasvastayadhakyeshana pruthana jayema||
Atharvaveda5.3.1
--
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God
