Griffith, [1896]\n1. THE urgings of the people have impelled me, and by,the nearest way I bring you P\u016b\u1e63an.\n The Universal Gods have brought me safely. The cry was heard, Behold, Dubsasu cometh!\n 2 The ribs that compass me give pain and trouble me like rival wives.\n Indigence, nakedness, exhaustion press me sore: my mind is fluttering like a bird's.\n 3 As rats eat weavers' threads, cares are consuming me, thy singer, gatakratu, me.\n Have mercy on us once, O Indra, Bounteous Lord: be thou a Father unto us.\n 4 I the priests' \u1e5a\u1e63i chose as prince most liberal Kurusravana,\n The son of Trasadasyu's son,\n 5 Whose three bays harnessed to the car bear me straight onward: I will laud\n The giver of a thousand meeds,\n 6 The sire of Upamasravas, even him whose words were passing sweet,\n As a fair field is to its lord.\n 7 Mark, Upamasravas, his son, mark, grandson of Mitratithi:\n I am thy father's eulogist.\n 8 If I controlled Immortal Gods, yea, even were I Lord of men,\n My liberal prince were living still.\n 9 None lives, even had he hundred lives, beyond the statute of the Gods\n So am I parted from my friend.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN XXXIII.
