Plain text of Mandala 4 · Hymn 48 God the Life-giver
1 Taste offerings never tasted yet, as bards enjoy the foeman's wealth. O Life-giver, on refulgent car come to be gracious to the gift.
2 Removing curses, drawn by teams, with the Mighty One, seated by Thy side, O Life-giver, on refulgent car come to be gracious to the gift.
3 The two dark treasuries of wealth that wear all beauties wait on Thee. O Life-giver, on refulgent car come to be gracious to the gift.
4 May nine-and-ninety harnessed steeds who yoke them at Thy will bring Thee. O Life-giver, on refulgent car come to be gracious to the gift.
5 Harness, O Life-giver, to Thy car a hundred well-fed tawny steeds, yea, or a thousand steeds, and let Thy chariot come to us with might.
