Plain text of Book The Eighth · HYMN XXVIII. All the Powers of God (Visvedevas)
1 The thirty-three angels and the One, whose seat hath been the sacred grass,
From time of old have found and gained.
2 The Upholder, the Friend, the Noble One, the Radiant, sending boons,
To whom our call is addressed:
3 These are our guardians in the west, and northward here, and in the south,
And on the east, with all the tribe.
4 Even as God desires so verily shall it be. None minisheth this power of His,
No demon, and no mortal.
5 The Seven carry seven spears; seven are the splendours they possess,
And seven the glories they assume.
