Atharva Veda: Book 19: Hymn 41: A benediction on a newly elected king
Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895]
1Desiring bliss, at first, light-finding Rishis began religious rite
and holy fervour.
Thence energy was born, and might, and kingship: so to this
man let gathered Gods incline them.
