HYMN XLVII
To accompany the three daily libations 1. Dear to all men, all-prosperer, all-creating, may Agni, guard us• at the morn's libation. May he, the brightly pure one, give us riches: may we have life enjoying food together. 2. At this our second offering may Indra, Maruts, and Visve Devas never fail us. Still may the favour of the Gods be with us, blest with long life and speaking words that please them. 3. We pour this third libation of the Sages who fashioned forth the cup in proper order. Winners of heaven, may they, Sudhanvan's children, lead our fair sacrifice to happy fortune.
