vii. 3. 13.

a. May a house be mine, may offspring be mine;

May the strong sacrifice come to me.

May the sacred and holy waters come to me;

May the abundance of a thousandfold (wealth) fail me not.

b. May the cup be mine; may the Puroruc be mine;

May the chant and the Sastra come to me in union.

May the angels who serve God be present at the rite;

May the abundance of a thousandfold (wealth) fail me not.

c. May the Agnistoma come to me, and the Ukthya;

May the nocturnal Atiratra come to me.

May the (draughts) which have stood over night, well offered, come to me;

May the abundance of a thousandfold (wealth) fail me not.

vii. 3. 14.

By fire he surmounted fervour, by speech holy power, by a gem forms, by the Mighty the righteous, by the wind the breaths, by the sun the sky, by the moon the stars, by the Ruler of the Dead the forefathers, by the king men, by fruit the flavours, by the boa constrictor serpents, by the tiger wild beasts, by the eagle birds, by the stallion horses, by the bull kine, by the he-goat goats, by the ram sheep, by rice food, by barley plants, by the banyan trees, by the Udumbara strength, by the Gayatri the metres, by the Trivrt the Stomas, by the scholar's utterance speech.
