Book 6: Hymn 61: A prayer for prosperity and greatness

HYMN LXI

A prayer for prosperity and greatness

1The Waters send me what is sweet and pleasant, Sūra bring all
I need for light and vision!
The deities, and all of pious nature, and Savitar the God afford
me freedom!
2I set the heaven and the earth asunder, I brought all seven sea-
sons into being.
My word is truth, what I deny is falsehood, above celestial Vāk,
above the nations.
3I gave existence to the earth and heaven, I made the seasons and
the seven rivers.
My word is truth; what I deny is falsehood, I who rejoice in
Agni's, Soma's friendship.
