MANDALA II, HYMN 33.
427
7. O Rudra, where is thy softly stroking hand which cures and relieves 1 ? Thou, the remover of all heaven-sent mischief, wilt thou, O strong hero, bear with me?
8. I send forth a great, great hymn of praise to the bright tawny bull. Let me reverence the fiery god ? with prostrations; we celebrate the flaring name 3 of Rudra.
9. He, the fierce god, with strong limbs, assuming many forms, the tawny Rudra, decked himself with brilliant golden ornaments. From Rudra, who is lord of this wide world, divine power 1 will never depart.
10. Worthily thou bearest arrows and bow, worthily, O worshipful?, the golden, variegated chain; worthily thou cuttest every fiend? here to pieces, for there is nothing indeed stronger than thou, O Rudra.
11. Praise him, the famous, sitting in his chariot', the youthful, who is fierce and attacks like a terrible wild beast' (the lion). And when thou hast been praised, O Rudra, be gracious to him who magnifies thee, and let thy armies 8 mow down others than us !
12. O Rudra, a boy indeed makes obeisance to his father who comes to greet him ?: I praise the lord of brave men, the giver of many gifts, and thou, when thou hast been praised, wilt give us thy medicines.
13. O Maruts, those pure medicines of yours, the most beneficent and delightful, O heroes, those which Manu ?, our father, chose, those I crave from Rudra, as health and wealth.
14. May the weapon of Rudra avoid us?, may the great anger of the faring one pass us by.
