HYMN LXXIII

A King's charm to conciliate his discontented kinsmen

1Let Varuna come hither, Soma, Agni, Brihaspati come hither
with the Vasus!
Unanimous, ye kinsmen, come united, come to the glory of this
mighty guardian.
2The inclination which your hearts have harboured, the purpose
which hath occupied your spirits,
This I annul with sacrifice and butter. In me be your sweet
resting-place, O kinsmen.
3Stand even here; forsake me not. Before us may Pūshan make
your path unfit to travel.
Vāstoshpati incessantly recall you! In me be your sweet resting-
place, O kinsmen!
