Plain text of Mandala 4 · Hymn 8 God the Radiant
1 Your envoy who possesses all, Immortal, bearer of your gifts, best of those worshipped, I woo with song.
2 He, Mighty, knows the gift of wealth, he knows the deep recess of heaven:
He shall bring hitherward the righteous.
3 He knows, a God Himself, to guide the righteous to the home of the faithful:
He gives even treasures that we love.
4 He is the Herald: well-informed, He doth His errand to and fro,
Knowing the deep recess of heaven.
5 May we be they who gratify the Radiant One with gifts for His sake,
Who cherish and enkindle Him.
6 Illustrious for wealth are they, and hero deeds, victorious,
Who have served Him reverently.
7 So unto us, day after day, may riches craved by many come,
And power and might spring up for us.
8 That holy Singer in his strength shoots forth his arrows swifter than
The swift shafts of the tribes of men.
