Griffith, [1896]\n1. You, foeman-slaying Varu\u1e47a and Mitra, we invoke with song,\n Who, as with penfold of your arms, encompass round the realm of light.\n 2 Stretch out your arms with favouring love unto this man who singeth hymns,\n For in all places is sung forth your evergracious friendliness.\n 3 That I may gain a refuge now, may my steps be on Mitra's path.\n Men go protected in the charge of this dear Friend who harms us not.\n 4 Mitra and Varu\u1e47a, from you may I, by song, win noblest meed.\n That shall stir envy in the homes of wealthy chiefs and those who praise.\n 5 With your fair splendours, Varu\u1e47a and Mitra, to our gathering come,\n That in their homes the wealthy chiefs and they who are your friends may thrive.\n 6 With those, moreover, among whom ye hold your high supremacy,\n Vouchsafe us room that we may win strength for prosperity and wealth.\n 7 When morning flushes, Holy Ones! in the Gods\u2019 realm where white Cows shine,\n Supporting Arcananas, speed, ye Heroes, with your active feet hither to my pressed Soma juice.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN LX1V.
