Griffith, [1896]\n1. UPHOLDERS of the Law, ye strong \u0100dityas, remove my sin like her who bears in secret.\n You, Varu\u1e47a, Mitra and all Gods who listen, I call to help me, I who know your goodness.\n 2 Ye, Gods, are providence and ye are power: remove ye utterly all those who hate us.\n As givers of good things deal with us kindly: this day be gracious to us and hereafter.\n 3 What service may we do you with our future, what service, Vasus, with our ancient friendship?\n O Aditi, and Varu\u1e47a and Mitra, Indra and Maruts, make us well and happy.\n 4 Ye, O ye Gods, are verily our kinsmen as such be kind to me who now implore you.\n Let not your car come slowly to our worship: of kinsmen such as you ne\u2019er let us weary.\n 5 I singly have sinned many a sin against you, and ye chastised me as a sire the gambler.\n Far be your nets, far, Gods, be mine offences: seize me not like a bird upon her offspring.\n 6 Turn yourselves hitherward this day, ye Holy, that fearing in my heart I may approach you.\n Protect us, God; let not the wolf destroy us. Save us, ye Holy, from the pit and falling.\n 7 May I not live, O Varu\u1e47a, to witness my wealthy, liberal, dear friend's destitution.\n King, may I never lack well-ordered riches. Loud may we speak, with heroes, in assembly.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 2: HYMN XXIX. Vi\u015bvedevas.","type":"page"}
