Atharva Veda: Book 7: Hymn 41: A prayer for prosperity
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1Observing men, and viewing home, the Falcon hath cleft his swift
way over wastes and waters.
May he, with Indra for a friend, auspicious, traversing all air's
lower realms, come hither.
2The heavenly Falcon, viewing men, well-pinioned, strength-giver,
hundred-footed, hundred-nested,
Shall give us treasure which was taken from us. May it be rich
in food among our Fathers.
