Griffith, [1896]\n1. FOR life I set thee free by this oblation from the unknown decline and from Consumption;\n Or, if the grasping demon have possessed him, free him from her, O Indra, thou and Agni.\n 2 Be his days ended, be he now departed, be he brought very near to death already,\n Out of Destruction's lap again I bring him, save him for life to last a hundred autumns.\n 3 With hundred-eyed oblation, hundred-autumned, bringing a hundred lives, have I restored him,\n That Indra for a hundred years may lead him safe to the farther shore of all misfortune.\n 4 Live, waxing in thy strength, a hundred autumns, live through a hundred springs, a hundred winters.\n Through hundred-lived oblation Indra, Agni, B\u1e5bhaspati, Savitar yield him for a hundred!\n 5 So have I found and rescued thee thou hast returned with youth renewed.\n Whole in thy members! I have found thy sight and all thy life for thee.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CLXI. Indra.","type":"page"}
