VEDIC HYMNS.
7. How (wilt thou speak) to great Pashan who brings prosperity? What (wilt thou say) to martial Rudra, the giver of offerings?? What sin? wilt thou announce to wide-ruling Vishnu, what, О Agni, to the mighty weapon (of the gods) ?
8. How wilt thou answer, when thou art asked, to the righteous' host of the Maruts? How to the mighty Sun, to the quick Aditi 2 ? Accomplish thy work, O Gâta vedas, thou who knowest the Heaven!
9. I magnify the Rita of the cow ? ruled by Rita and also by the raw ones, the honey-sweet, ripe (milk), O Agni. Though being black this (cow) swells of bright drink, of ... 4 milk.
10. With Rita indeed, with the milk of the back ?, the bull has been anointed, Agni the man. Without trembling he moved on bestowing his vigour. The speckled bull has poured out his bright udder 2
! By the Rita the Angiras have broken the rock and cleft it asunder; they have shouted together with the cows. Prosperously the men have surrounded ? the Dawn. The Sun appeared. when Agni (the fire) had been born 8.
12. By the Rita the immortal, uninjured 1 goddesses, the Waters, O Agni, with their honey-sweet waves have sped forward a for ever to flow (along their course), like a racer incited by shouting when (the race-horses) are let loose.
13. Go never on thy crooked way to the spirit (which avenges the guilt) of anybody', of a vassal who has trespassed, or of a friend. Require not (of us) a sinful brother's debt 2. May we not have to suffer under the spirit which avenges a friend's or a (hostile) deceiver's guilt 3.
