Griffith, [1896]\n1. SIT down, O friends, and sing aloud to him who purifies himself:\n Deck him for glory, like a child, with holy rites.\n 2 Unite him bringing household wealth, even as a calf, with mother kine,\n Him who hath double strength, the God, delighting juice.\n 3 Purify him who gives us power, that he, most Blessed One, may be\n A banquet for the Troop, Mitra, and Varu\u1e47a.\n 4 Voices have sung aloud to thee as finderout of wealth for us:\n We clothe the hue thou wearest with a robe of milk.\n 5 Thou, Indu, art the food of Gods, O Sovran of all gladdening drinks:\n As Friend for friend, be thou best finder of success.\n 6 Drive utterly away from us each demon, each voracious fiend,\n The godless and the false: keep sorrow far away.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 9: HYMN CIV.
