MAY Varu\u1e47a with guidance straight, and Mitra lead us, he who knows,\n And Aryaman in accord with Gods.\n 2 For they are dealers forth of wealth, and, not deluded, with their might\n Guard evermore the holy laws.\n 3 Shelter may they vouchsafe to us, Immortal Gods to mortal men,\n Chasing our enemies away.\n 4 May they mark out our paths to bliss, Indra, the Maruts, P\u016b\u1e63an,\n and Bhaga, the Gods to be adored.\n 5 Yea, P\u016b\u1e63an, Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, ye who run your course, enrich our hymns with kine;\n Bless us with all prosperity.\n 6 The winds waft sweets, the rivers pour sweets for the man who keeps the Law\n So may the plants be sweet for us.\n 7 Sweet be the night and sweet the dawns, sweet the terrestrial atmosphere;\n Sweet be our Father Heaven to us.\n 8 May the tall tree be full of sweets for us, and full of sweets the Sun:\n May our milch-kine be sweet for us.\n 9 Be Mitra gracious unto us, and Varu\u1e47a and Aryaman:\n Indra, B\u1e5bhaspati be kind, and Vi\u1e63\u1e47u of the mighty stride.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN XC.
