Griffith, [1896]\n1. ONE-MINDED, wise, they tracked thee like a thief lurking in dark cave with a stolen cow:\n Thee claiming worship, bearing it to Gods: there nigh to thee sate all the Holy Ones.\n 2 The Gods approached the ways of holy Law; there was a gathering vast as heaven itself.\n The waters feed with praise the growing Babe, born nobly in the womb, the seat of Law.\n 3 Like grateful food, like some wide dwelling place, like a fruit-bearing hill, a wholesome stream.\n Like a steed urged to run in swift career, rushing like Sindhu, who may check his course?\n 4 Kin as a brother to his sister floods, he eats the woods as a King eats the rich.\n When through the forest, urged by wind, he spreads, verily Agni shears the hair of earth.\n 5 Like a swan sitting in the floods he pants wisest in mind mid men he wakes at morn.\n A Sage like Soma, sprung from Law, he grew like some young creature, mighty, shining far.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN LXV.
