Griffith, [1896]\n1. WITH wisdom I present these lively praises of Bh\u0101vya dweller on the bank of Sindhu;\n For he, unconquered King, desiring glory, hath furnished me a thousand sacrifices.\n 2 A hundred necklets from the King, beseeching, a hundred gift-steeds I at once accepted;\n Of the lord's cows a thousand, I Kak\u1e63\u012bv\u0101n. His deathless glory hath he spread to heaven.\n 3 Horses of dusky colour stood beside me, ten chariots, Svanaya's gift, with mares to draw them.\n Kine numbering sixty thousand followed after. Kak\u1e63\u012bv\u0101n gained them when the days were closing.\n 4 Forty bay horses of the ten cars' master before a thousand lead the long procession.\n Reeling in joy Kak\u1e63\u012bv\u0101n's sons and Pajra's have grounded the coursers decked with pearly trappings.\n 5 An earlier gift for you have I accepted eight cows, good milkers, and three harnessed horses,\n Pajras, who with your wains with your great kinsman, like troops of subjects, have been fain for glory.\n 6 [Ille loquitur]. Adhaerens, arcte adhaerens, illa quae mustelae similis se abdidit, multum humorem effundens, dat mihi complexuum centum gaudia.\n 7. [Ille loquitur]. Prope, prope accede; molliter me tange. Ne putes pilos corporis mei-paucos esse: tota sum villosa sicut Gandharium ovis.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN CXXVI. Bh\u0101vayavya.","type":"page"}
