Griffith, [1896]\n1. WERE not in sooth, the Gods aforetime blameless, whose pleasure was increased by adoration?\n For V\u0101yu and for man in his affliction they caused the Morning to arise with S\u016brya.\n 2 Guardians infallible, eager as envoys' preserve us safe through many months and autumns.\n Addressed to you, our fair praise, Indra-V\u0101yu, implores your favour and renewed well-being.\n 3 Wise, bright, arranger of his teams, he. seeketh men with rich food whose treasures are abundant.\n They have arranged them of one mind with V\u0101yu: the men have wrought all noble operations.\n 4 So far as native power and strength permit you, so far as men behold whose eyes have vision,\n O ye pure-drinkers, drink with us pure Soma: sit on this sacred grass, Indra and V\u0101yu.\n 5 Driving down teams that bear the lovely Heroes, hitherward, Indra-V\u0101yu, come together.\n To you this prime of savoury juice is offered: here loose your horses and be friendly-minded.\n 6 Your hundred and your thousand teams, O Indra and V\u0101yu, all-munificent, which attend you,\n With these most gracious-minded come ye hither, and drink, O Heroes of the meath we offer.\n 7 Like coursers seeking fame will we Vasisthas, O Indra-V\u0101yu, with our fair laudations,\n Exerting all our powe-,, call you to aid us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN XCI. V\u0101yu.","type":"page"}
