Griffith, [1896]\n1. THE robes which ye put on abound with fatness: uninterrupted courses are your counsels.\n All falsehood, Mitra-Varu\u1e47a! ye conquer, and closely cleave unto the Law Eternal.\n 2 This might of theirs hath no one comprehended. True is the crushing word the sage hath uttered,\n The fearful four-edged bolt smites down the three-edged, and those who hate the Gods first fall and perish.\n 3 The Footless Maid precedeth footed creatures. Who marketh, Mitra-Varu\u1e47a, this your doing?\n The Babe Unborn supporteth this world's burthen, fulfilleth Law and overcometh falsehood.\n 4 We look on him the darling of the Maidens, always advancing, never falling downward,\n Wearing inseparable, wide-spread raiment, Mitra's and Varu\u1e47a's delightful glory.\n 5 Unbridled Courser, born but not of horses, neighing he flieth on with back uplifted.\n The youthful love mystery thought-surpassing, praising in Mitra-Varu\u1e47a, its glory.\n 6 May the milch-kine who favour M\u0101mateya prosper in this world him who loves devotion.\n May he, well skilled in rites, be food, and calling Aditi with his lips give us assistance.\n 7 Gods, Mitra-Varu\u1e47a, with love and worship, let me make you delight in this oblation.\n May our prayer be victorious in battles, may we have rain from heaven to make us prosper.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN CLII.
