Griffith, [1895]\n1I think on V\u0101yu's and Savitar's holy rites, ye twain who penetrate\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and guard the living world:\n \u00a0\u00a0Ye who have come to be this All's pervaders, deliver us, ye two\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from grief and trouble.\n 2Ye who have counted up the earth's expanses, and in the sky\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0smoothed out the air's mid-region,\n \u00a0\u00a0Whose going-forth hath ne'er been reached by any, deliver us,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ye two, from grief and trouble.\n 3Beauteously bright! men rest in thy dominion when thou hast\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0risen up and hastened onward.\n \u00a0\u00a0Ye, V\u0101yu, Savitar, preserve all creatures. Deliver us, ye, twain,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from grief and trouble.\n 4Hence, V\u0101yu, Savitar drive evil action, chase Simid\u0101 away, drive\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0off the demons.\n \u00a0\u00a0Ye give us store of energy and power. Deliver us, ye twain,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from grief and trouble.\n 5Of their own selves let Savitar and V\u0101yu send favourable strength\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and wealth and plenty.\n \u00a0\u00a0Here give us perfect freedom from consumption. Deliver us, ye\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0twain, from grief and trouble.\n 6Ye, Savitar and V\u0101yu, to assist us, enjoy the hymn and the\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0delightful cheerer.\n \u00a0\u00a0Come hither downward from the stream of blessing. Deliver us,\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0ye twain, from grief and trouble.\n 7Like noblest benisons they have stayed in the God loving man's\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0abode.\n \u00a0\u00a0I glorify bright Savitar and V\u0101yu. Deliver us, ye twain, from\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0grief and trouble.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 4: Hymn 25: A hymn of prayer and prais...","type":"page"}
