Atharva Veda: Book 19: Hymn 37: A charm to secure long life and dominion to a prince
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1To me hath come this word given by Agni, fame, force and
might, and strength, and life, and lustre.
May Agni too bestow on me three-times a hundred manly
powers.
2For mighty strength, for action, I receive thee, for manly power,
to last a hundred autumns. p. 242
3For conquering strength and energy and vigour
I fasten thee for chieftainship, for bearing royal dominion
through a hundred autumns.
4With Seasons and with Season-groups, for vigour and extended
life.
With splendour of the perfect year we fasten thee about the
neck.
