Griffith, [1896]\n1. FULL wise is he who hath discerned: let him speak to us of the Gods,\u2014\n The man whose praise-songs Varu\u1e47a the beautiful, or Mitra, loves.\n 2 For they are Kings of noblest might, of glorious fame most widely spread;\n Lords of the brave, who strengthen Law, the Holy Ones with every race.\n 3 Approaching you with prayer for aid, together I address you first\n We who have good steeds call on you, Most Sage, to give us strength besides.\n 4 E\u2019en out of misery Mitra gives a way to dwelling at our case,\n For he who worships hath the grace of Mitra, fighter in the van. '\n 5 In Mitra's shelter that extends to utmost distance may we dwell,\n Unmenaced, guarded by the care, ever as sons of Varu\u1e47a.\n 6 Ye, Mitra, urge this people on, and to one end direct their ways.\n Neglect not ye the wealthy chiefs, neglect not us the \u1e5a\u1e63is: be our guardians when ye quaff the milk.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 5: HYMN LXV Mitra-Varu\u1e47a.","type":"page"}
