And laud and sacred text, and verse of praise and Sama chant, the Brihat and Rathantara.

We have gone to light. We have become servants of God. We have attained the life everlasting.

30 In gain of wealth we celebrate, etc. (as in Book 9, verse 6).

31 This day may all the angels come to aid us! Let all the fires be thoroughly enkindled.

May all the angels come hither with protection. May we possess all property and riches.

32 May our strength fill the regions seven, fill the four distant places full.

Here may our riches guard us with the angels in the gain of wealth.

33 May strength to-day procure for us donation.

Yea, strength hath made me rich in store of heroes. As lord of strength may I gain all the regions.

34 Strength be before us, in the midst among us. May strength exalt our worship.

Yea, strength hath made me rich in store of heroes. As lord of strength may I gain all the regions.

35 With milk of the earth do I unite me, unite myself with waters and with plants.

As such may I gain strength, O God.

36 Store milk in earth and milk in plants, milk in the sky and milk in air.

Teeming with milk for me be all the regions.

37 Thee, by the impulse of God the radiant Impeller, with the arms of the angels of healing and the hands of the angel of nourishment,

By the command of the Controller of speech, by the sole dominion of God, I besprinkle.

44 O God, Lord of the World, Creator, whose are the homes above and here,

Give great protection unto these, the scholars and the leaders.

45 Thou art the sea of vapour that giveth moisture. Blow on me, thou healthful and blessing-laden.

Thou art the sky of the storms, the band of storm-winds. Blow on me, etc.

46 Thy lights, O God, in the sun, etc. (as in Book 13, verse 22).

47 Lights of Thine in the sun, etc. (as in Book 13, verse 23).

48 Give lustre to our scholars, set lustre in our leaders:

Lustre to the traders and the labourers: give, through lustre, lustre unto me.

49 I ask this of Thee with my prayer, adoring: Thy worshipper asks this with his offerings.

O God the All-Seeing, be not angry: take not our life from us, O Thou Wide-Ruler.

51 I yoke with power and flowing butter the fire, God's sign, strong-pinioned, great with vital vigour.

Through it may we approach the sun's station, ascending to the loftiest sky, to heaven.

52 With these thy two ne'er-wasting feathered pinions wherewith thou drivest fiends away, O fire,

Let us fly to the regions of the pious whither have gone the first-born ancient sages.

54 Centre of earth, heaven's head art thou, essence of waters and of plants, a wide refuge.

55 Attached thou standest at the head of all the world. Thy heart is in the sea, thy life is in the floods.

O cloud, give water: cleave the reservoir. By God's leave help us with rain sent from the sky.

56 By the Bhrigus and by the devout hath prayer-granting worship been paid.

Come, Wealth, into the house of him our dear, our well-beloved one.

Blessed be it!

58 That which hath flowed from purpose or from judgment, or gathered from the wind or from the vision,

Follow ye to the region of the pious whither have gone the first-born ancient sages.

59 To thee I trust this man, O celestial dwelling! the treasure which God shall bring hither.

After you will the worshipper follow. Here recognize him in the highest heaven.

60 Acknowledge him, ye angels, in highest heaven. Ye who are present, know the form he weareth.

When he approacheth by the pathways toward God, reveal to him the reward of pious actions.

61 Wake up, O fire, etc. (as in Book 15, verse 54).

62 Convey our worship to heaven, etc. (as in Book 15, verse 55).

63 With Darbha-bunch, with fencing-wood, with spoon, with altar, holy grass,

With laud, lead this our worship to rise to heaven, accepted by God.

64 Our gifts, our charitable grants, our pious works, our fees to priests,

May God, the Maker of all, set all this in heaven.

65 There where all never-failing streams of honey and of butter flow,

May God place us in heaven among the righteous.

67 Thou art the best of all the fires among the fivefold race of man

That burn upon this earth of ours. Speed thou us on to lengthened life.

68 O Mighty One, for the strength that slays evil and conquers in the light

We turn to Thee.

69 Thou, O Mighty One, much-invoked, didst crush to pieces the fiend of drought, who dwelt with the demons.

Thou with might smotest dead the scorner as he waxed in vigour.

70 O Mighty One, beat our foes away, etc. (as in Book 8, verse 44).

71 Thou hast approached us from the farthest distance.

O Mighty One, crush thou the foes and scatter those who hate us.

72 To aid us let Thy help come from the distance far away:

Hear, O God, our praises!

73 Sought in the sky, sought on the earth, sought after, all plants that grow on ground hath the fire entered.

May God, with vigour, sought for, by day and night from harm preserve us.

74 Help us that we may gain this wish, O God, gain riches, Wealthy One! with store of heroes.

Desiring strength from Thee may we be strengthened, and win, Eternal! Thine eternal glory.

75 Approaching with raised hands and adoration, we have this day come to Thee, O God.

Worship God with most devoted spirit, with no unfriendly thought.

76 May God, the Radiant, the Mighty, the Creator, the bright Lord of Devotion, and all the angels, one-minded, guard our worship in a happy place.

77 Guard thou the worshipper's men, O Youthful One, etc. (as in Book 13, verse 52).
