Griffith, [1896]\n1. HITHER he hastens to give, Lord of great riches, King of the mighty, to the place of treasure.\n The pressing-stones shall serve him speeding near us.\n 2 As Steer of men so Steer of earth and heaven by glory, he whose streams all life hath drunken,\n Who hasting forward rests upon the altar.\n 3 He who hath lighted up the joyous castle, wise Courser like the Steed of cloudy heaven,\n Bright like the Sun, with hundredfold existence.\n 4 He, doubly born, hath spread in his effulgence through the three luminous realms, through all the regions,\n Best sacrificing Priest where waters gather.\n 5 Priest doubly born, he through his love of glory hath in his keeping all things worth the choosing,\n The man who brings him gifts hath noble offspring.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN CXLIX.
