VEDIC HYMNS.
MANDALA V, HYMN 27.
ASHTAKA IV, ADHYÁYA 1, VARGA 21.
1. The good lord has presented me with two oxen together with a car, the most brilliant Asura among the liberal givers. Tryaruna, the son of Trivrishan, O Agni Vaisvânara ?, has distinguished hinself by (his gift of) ten thousand (cows ?).
2. To him who gives me one hundred' and twenty cows and two fallow steeds, harnessed and wellyoked, to Tryaruna grant thy protection, Agni Vaisvânara, who art highly praised and grown strong.
3. Thus, O Agni, desiring thy favour", Trasadasyu 2 (sings) for the ninth time to thee the youngest (god)—Tryaruna who responds to my, the strong-born's, many hymns with (the gift of) a yoked (chariot) -
4? Who may thus announce me 2 to Asvamedha the liberal (prince): may he give to him who with his verse strives for gain ; may he give to him who lives in the Rita for (acquiring) wisdom —
5. Asvamedha whose gifts, a hundred speckled bulls, delight me like Soma juices with threefold admixture
6. Indra-Agni! Bestow on Asvamedha, the giver of a hundred (bulls), abundance of heroes and mighty royal power, like the never-ageing Sun in heaven.
