Plain text of Book The Eighth · HYMN VIII. Praskanva's Gift
1 Thy bounty, Dasyave-vrka, exhaustless hath displayed itself: Its fulness is as broad as heaven.
2 Ten thousand Dasyave-vrka, the son of Putakrata, hath
From his own wealth bestowed on me.
3 A hundred asses hath he given, a hundred head of fleecy sheep,
And wreaths besides.
4 There also was a mare led forth, picked out for Putakrata's sake,
Not of the horses of the herd.
5 The Radiant One hath shone on high as shines the Sun, hath shone like the sun in the heavens.
