Griffith, [1896]\n1. THIS stream Sarasvat\u012b with fostering current comes forth, our sure defence, our fort of iron.\n As on a car, the flood flows on, surpassing in majesty and might all other waters.\n 2 Pure in her course from mountains to the ocean, alone of streams Sarasvat\u012b hath listened.\n Thinking of wealth and the great world of creatures, she poured for Nahu\u1e63a her milk and fatness.\n 3 Friendly to man he grew among the women, a strong young Steer amid the Holy Ladies.\n He gives the fleet steed to our wealthy princes, and decks their bodies for success in battle.\n 4 May this Sarasvat\u012b be pleased and listen at this our sacrifice, auspicious Lady,\n When we with reverence, on our knees, implore her close-knit to wealth, most kind to those she loveth.\n 5 These offerings have ye made with adoration: say this, Sarasvat\u012b, and accept our praises;\n And, placing us under thy dear protection, may we approach thee, as a tree, for shelter.\n 6 For thee, O Blest Sarasvat\u012b, Vasi\u1e63\u1e6dha hath here unbarred the doors d sacred Order.\n Wax, Bright One, and give strength to him who lauds thee. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN XCV. Sarasvat\u012b.","type":"page"}
