HYMN IX
A charm to secure wealth and felicity
1Ours is superior place and ours is conquest: may I in
all fights
tread down spite and malice.
2This word hath Agni, this hath Soma spoken. May Pūshan
set
me in the world of virtue.
3We have come to the light of heaven; to the light of
heaven
have we come: we have united with the light of Surya.
4Sacrifice is fraught with wealth for the increase of
prosperity. I
would win riches; fain would I be wealthy. Do thou bestow
wealth upon me.
