Griffith, [1896]\n1. I SING a lofty song, for she is mightiest, most divine of Streams.\n Sarasvat\u012b will I exalt with hymns and lauds, and, O Vasi\u1e63\u1e6dha, Heaven and Earth.\n 2 When in the fulness of their strength the P\u016brus dwell, Beauteous One, on thy two grassy banks,\n Favour us thou who hast the Maruts for thy friends: stir up the bounty of our chiefs.\n 3 So may Sarasvat\u012b auspicious send good luck; she, rich in spoil, is never niggardly in thought,\n When praised in jamadagni's way and lauded as Vasi\u1e63\u1e6dha lauds.\n 4 We call upon Sarasv\u0101n, as unmarried men who long for wives,\n As liberal men who yearn for sons.\n 5 Be thou our kind protector, O Sarasv\u0101n, with those waves of thine\n Laden with sweets and dropping oil.\n 6 May we enjoy Sarasv\u0101n's breast, all-beautiful, that swells with streams,\n May we gain food and progeny.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN XCVI.
