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.
