Griffith, [1896]\n1 FOR the Celestial Race this song of praise which gives wealth lavishly\n Was made by singers with their lips.\n 2 They who for Indra, with their mind, formed horses harnessed by a word,\n Attained by works to sacrifice.\n 3 They for the two N\u0101satyas wrought a light car moving every way:\n They formed a nectar-yielding cow.\n 4 The \u1e5abhus with effectual prayers, honest, with constant labour, made\n Their Sire and Mother young again.\n 5 Together came your gladdening drops with Indra by the Maruts girt,\n With the \u0100dityas, with the Kings.\n 6 The sacrificial ladle, wrought newly by the God Tva\u1e63\u1e6dar's hand\u2014\n Four ladles have ye made thereof.\n 7 Vouchsafe us wealth, to him who pours thrice seven libations, yea, to each\n Give wealth, pleased with our eulogies.\n 8 As ministering Priests they held, by pious acts they won themselves,\n A share in sacrifice with Gods.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN XX. \u1e5abhus.","type":"page"}
