Atharva Veda: Book 6: Hymn 55: A prayer for general protection and prosperity
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1Of all the many God-frequented pathways that traverse realms
between the earth and heaven,
Consign me, all ye Gods to that which leadeth to perfect and
inviolable safety.
2Maintain us in well-being Summer, Winter Dew-time and Spring,
Autumn, and Rainy Season
Give us our share of cattle and of Children. May we enjoy
your unassailed protection.
3Pay to the Year your lofty adoration, to the first Year, the
second, and the present.
Many we abide in the auspicious favour and gracious love of
these who claim our worship.
