Book 7: Hymn 35: A prayer for the prosperity of a King and his kingdom

HYMN XXXV

A prayer for the prosperity of a King and his kingdom

1Subdue with conquering might his other rivals, those yet unborn
repel, O Jātavedas.
For great felicity protect this kingdom, and in this man let all
the Gods be joyful.
2Hae quot tibi sunt venae atque arteriae harum omnium os tibi
lapide occlusi.
3Uteri tui summam partem inferam facio: ne tibi soboles neque
filius eveniat. Sterilem et infecundam te facio: lapidem tuum,
operimentum facio.
