Griffith, [1896]\n1. I YOKE with prayer your ancient inspiration: may the laud rise as on the prince's pathway.\n All Sons of Immortality shall hear it, all the possessors of celestial natures.\n 2 When speeding ye came nigh us like twin sisters, religious-hearted votaries brought you forward.\n Take your place, ye who know your proper station: be near, be very near unto our Soma.\n 3 Five paces have I risen from Earth. I follow her who hath four feet with devout observance.\n This by the Sacred Syllable have I measured: I purify in the central place of Order,\n 4 He, for God's sake, chose death to be his portion. He chose not, for men's good, a life eternal\n They sacrificed B\u1e5bhaspati the \u1e5a\u1e63i. Yama delivered up his own dear body.\n 5 The Seven flow to the Youth on whom the Maruts wait: the Sons unto the Father brought the sacrifice.\n Both these are his, as his they are the Lords of both: both toil; belonging unto both they prosper well.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN XIII Havirdhanas.","type":"page"}
