Plain text of Book 7, Hymn 82
Sing with fair laud the combat for the cattle. Bestow upon us excellent possessions. Lead to God the offering we make: let streams of oil flow pure and full of sweetness.
2 God the Radiant I first appropriate with power, with splendour, and with might. I give myself children and lengthened life, in His name.
3 Even here do Thou, O God, establish wealth: let not oppressors injure Thee by thinking of Thee first. Light be Thy task of ruling, with Thy power: may he who worships Thee wax strong, invincible.
4 He has looked upon the spring of mornings, looked on the days, the earliest All-Knowing. So, following the gleams of morning, the sun has entered heaven and earth as his possession.
5 He has looked upon the spring of mornings, looked on the days, the earliest All-Knowing. So He in countless places has extended, full against heaven and earth, the beams of the sun.
6 Butter to Thee in heaven Thy home, O God! the priest this day has kindled the fire with butter. Let the waters bring butter: let cows pour butter forth.
