Atharva Veda: Book 6: Hymn 58: A priest's prayer for power and glory
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1May Indra Maghavan give me name and glory. May Heaven
and Earth, this couple, make me famous.
May Savitar the deity make me honoured. Here may the man
who gives the guerdon love me.
2Indra from Heaven and Earth receiveth glory among the plants
the Waters have their glory;
Even so may we be glorious'mid all the Universal Gods.
3Indra and Agni were renowned, famous was Soma at his birth;
So too am I illustrious, most glorious of all that is.
