Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 YOUR well-known prompt activities aforetime needed no impulse from your faithful servant. Where, Indra-Varuṇa, is now that glory wherewith ye brought support to those who loved you?

3 O Indra-Varuṇa, ours be this treasure ours be wealth, Maruts, with full store of heroes. May the Varūtrīs with their shelter aid us, and Bhāratī and Hotrā with the Mornings.

vadhūyúr iva yóṣaṇām ||

8 Accept with favour this my song, be gracious to the earnest thought, Even as a bridegroom to his bride.

yó víśvābhí vipáśyati bhúvanā sáṃ ca páśyati |
sá naḥ pūṣā́vitā́ bhuvat ||

9 May he who sees all living things, see, them together at a glance, —May he, may Pūṣan be our help.

sómaḥ sadhástham ā́sadat ||

drā́ghiṣṭhābhiḥ śucivratā ||

17 Far-ruling, joyful when adored, ye reign through majesty of might, With pure laws everlastingly.
