Griffith, [1896]\n1. Come hither, O ye Sons of Strength, ye \u1e5abhus; stay not afar, ye Children of Sudhanvan.\n At this libation is your gift of treasure. Let gladdening draughts approach you after Indra's.\n 2 Hither is come the \u1e5abhus' gift of riches; here was the drinking of the well-pressed Soma,\n Since by dexterity and skill as craftsmen ye made the single chalice to be fourfold \n 3 Ye made fourfold the chalice that wag single: ye spake these words and said, O Friend, assist us;\n Then, V\u0101jas! gained the path of life eternal, deft-handed \u1e5abhus, to the Gods\u2019 assembly.\n 4 Out of what substance was that chalice fashioned which ye made fourfold by your art and wisdom?\n Now for the gladdening draught press out the liquor, and drink, O \u1e5abhus, of die meath of Soma.\n 5 Ye with your cunning made your Parents youthful; the cup, for Gods to drink, ye formed with cunning;\n With cunning, \u1e5abhus, rich in treasure, fashioned the two swift Tawny Steeds who carry Indra.\n 6 Whoso pours out for you, when days are closing, the sharp libation for your joy, O V\u0101jas,\n For him, O mighty \u1e5abhus, ye, rejoicing, have fashioned wealth with plenteous store of heroes.\n 7 Lord of Bay Steeds, at dawn the juice thou drankest: thine, only thine, is the noonday libation.\n Now drink thou with the wealth-bestowing \u1e5abhus, whom for their skill thou madest friends, O Indra.\n 8 Ye, whom your artist skill hath raised to Godhead have set you down above in heaven like falcons.\n So give us riches, Children of Sudhanvan, O Sons of Strength; ye have become immortal.\n 9 The third libation, that bestoweth treasure, which ye have won by skill, ye dexterous-handed,\u2014\n This drink hath been effused for you, O \u1e5abhus . drink it with high delight, with joy like Indra's.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 4: HYMN XXXV. \u1e5abhus.","type":"page"}
