Griffith, [1896]\n1. ONE is a youth brown, active, manifold he decks the golden one with ornament.\n 2 Another, luminous, occupies the place of sacritice, Sage, among the Gods.\n 3 One brandishes in his hand an iron knife, firm, in his seat amid the Deities.\n 4 Another holds the thunderbolt, wherewith he slays the V\u1e5btras, resting in his hand.\n 5 Another bears a pointed weapon: bright is he, and strong, with healing medicines.\n 6 Another, thief-like, watches well the ways, and knows the places where the treasures lie.\n 7 Another with his mighty stride hath made his three steps thither where the Gods rejoice.\n 8 Two with one Dame ride on with winged steeds, and journey forth like travellers on their way.\n 9 Two, highest, in the heavens have set their seat, worshipped with holy oil, imperial Kings.\n 10 Some, singing lauds, conceived the S\u0101ma-hymn, great hymn whereby they caused the Sun to shine.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 8: HYMN XXIX Vi\u015bvedevas.","type":"page"}
