Griffith, [1896]\n1. BE with us; I have chosen thee: stand stedfast and immovable.\n Let all the people wish for thee let not thy kingship fall away.\n 2 Be even here; fall not away be like a mountain unremoved.\n Stand stedfast here like Indra's self, and hold the kingship in the grasp.\n 3 This man hath Indra stablished, made secure by strong oblation's power.\n May Soma speak a benison, and Brahma\u1e47aspati, on him.\n 4 Firm is the sky and firm the earth, and stedfast also are these hills.\n Stedfast is all this living world, and stedfast is this King of men.\n 5 Stedfast, may Varu\u1e47a the King, stedfast, the God B\u1e5bhaspati,\n Stedfast, may Indra, stedfast too, may Agni keep thy stedfast reign.\n 6 On constant Soma let us think with constant sacrificial gift\n And then may Indra make the clans bring tribute unto thee alone.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CLXXIII.
