Griffith, [1896]\n1. MIGHTY are ye, and far-extended, Heaven and Earth: both Worlds are evermore to us like two young Dames.\n Guard us thereby from stronger foe; guard us hereby to give us strength.\n 2 In each succeeding sacrifice that mortal honoureth the Gods,\n He who, most widely known and famed for happiness, inviteth them.\n 3 Ye who are Rulers over all, great is your sovran power as Gods.\n Ye all possess all majesty: all must be served in sacrifice.\n 4 These are the joyous Kings of Immortality, Parijman, Mitra, Aryaman, and Varu\u1e47a.\n What else is Rudra, praised of men? the Maruts, Bhaga, P\u016b\u1e63a\u1e47a?\n 5 Come also to our dwelling, Lords of ample wealth, common partakers of our waters, Sun and Moon,\n When the great Dragon of the Deep hath settled down upon their floors.\n 6 And let the A\u015bvins, Lords of splendour, set us free,\u2014both Gods, and, with their Laws, Mitra and Varu\u1e47a.\n Through woes, as over desert lands, he speeds to ample opulence.\n 7 Yea, let the A\u015bvins Twain he gracious unto us, even Rudras, and all Gods, Bhaga, Rathaspati;\n Parijman, \u1e5abhu, V\u0101ja, O Lords of all wealth \u1e5abhuk\u1e63a\u1e47as.\n 8 Prompt is \u1e5abhuk\u1e63an, prompt the worshipper's strong drink: may thy fleet Bay Steeds, thine who speedest on, approach.\n Not mans but God's is sacrifice whose psalm is unassailable.\n 9 O God Savitar, harmed by none, lauded, give us a place among wealthy princes.\n With his Car-steeds at once 'hath our Indra guided the reins and the car of these men.\n 10 To these men present here, O Heaven and Earth, to us grant lofty fame extending over all mankind.\n Give us a steed to win us strength, a steed with wealth for victory.\n 11 This speaker, Indra\u2014for thou art our Friend\u2014wherever he may be, guard thou, Victor! for help, ever for help\n Thy wisdom, Vasu! prosper him.\n 12 So have they strengthened this mine hymn which seems to take its bright path to the Sun, and reconciles the men:\n Thus forms a carpenter the yoke of horses, not to be displaced.\n 13 Whose chariot-seat hath come again laden with wealth and bright with gold,\n Lightly, with piercing ends, as \u2019twere two ranks of heroes ranged for fight.\n 14 This to Du\u1e25\u015b\u012bma P\u1e5bthav\u0101na have I sung, to Vena, Rama, to the nobles, and the King.\n They yoked five hundred, and their love of us was famed upon their way.\n 15 Besides, they showed us seven-and-seventy horses here.\n T\u0101nva at once displayed his gift, P\u0101rthya at once displayed his gift; and straightway M\u0101yava showed his.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN XCIII.
