Who comprehends the mystery?\n We must address ourselves unto another's thought, and lost is then the hope we formed.\n 2 The Maruts are thy brothers. Why, O Indra, wouldst thou take our lives?\n Agree with them in friendly wise, and do not slay us in the fight.\n 3 Agastya, brother, why dost thou neglect us, thou who art our friend?\n We know the nature of thy mind. Verity thou wilt give us naught.\n 4 Let them prepare the altar, let them kindle fire in front: we two\n Here will spread sacrifice for thee, that the Immortal may observe.\n 5 Thou, Lord of Wealth, art Master of all treasures, thou, Lord of friends, art thy friends' best supporter.\n O Indra, speak thou kindly with the Maruts, and taste oblations in their proper season.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda Book 1: HYMN CLXX.
