Griffith, [1896]\n1. COMMINGLING, restless, he ascends the sky, unveiling nights and all that stands or moves,\n As he the sole God is preeminent in greatness among all these other Gods.\n 2 All men are joyful in thy power, O God, that living from the dry wood thou art born.\n All truly share thy Godhead while they keep, in their accustomed ways, eternal Law.\n 3 Strong is the thought of Law, the Law's behest; all works have they performed; he quickens all.\n Whoso will bring oblation, gifts to thee, to him, bethinking thee, vouchsafe thou wealth.\n 4 Seated as Priest with Manu's progeny, of all these treasures he alone is Lord.\n Men yearn for children to prolong their line, and are not disappointed in their hope.\n 5 Eagerly they who hear his word fulfil his wish as sons obey their sire's behest.\n He, rich in food, unbars his wealth like doors: he, the House-Friend, hath decked heaven's vault with stars.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN LXVIII.
