Griffith, [1896]\n1 NE\u2019ER doth the man repent, who, seeking profit, bringeth his gift to the far-striding Vi\u1e63\u1e47u.\n He who adoreth him with all his spirit winneth himself so great a benefactor.\n 2 Thou, Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, constant in thy courses, gavest good-will to all men, and a hymn that lasteth,\n That thou mightst move us to abundant comfort of very splendid wealth with store of horses.\n 3 Three times strode forth this God in all his grandeur over this earth bright with a hundred splendours.\n Foremost be Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, stronger than the strongest: for glorious is his name who lives for ever.\n 4 Over this earth with mighty step strode Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, ready to give it for a home to Manu.\n In him the humble people trust for safety: he, nobly born, hath made them spacious dwellings.\n 5 To-day I laud this name, O gipivista, I, skilled in rules, the name of thee the Noble.\n Yea, I the poor and weak praise thee the Mighty who dwellest in the realm beyond this region.\n 6 What was there to be blamed in thee, O Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, when thou declaredst, I am Sipivista?\n Hide not this form from us, nor keep it secret, since thou didst wear another shape in battle.\n 7 O Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, unto thee my lips cry Va\u1e63a\u1e6d! Let this mine offering, Sipivista, please thee.\n May these my songs of eulogy exalt thee. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 7: HYMN C.
