HYMN LXXIII

A King’s charm to conciliate his discontented kinsmen 1. Let Varuna come hither, Soma, Agni, Brihaspati come hither    with the Vasus!   Unanimous, ye kinsmen, come united, come to the glory of this    mighty guardian. 2. The inclination which your hearts have harboured, the purpose    which hath occupied your spirits,   This I annul with sacrifice and butter. In me be your sweet    resting-place, O kinsmen. 3. Stand even here; forsake me not. Before us may Pūshan make    your path unfit to travel.   Vāstoshpati incessantly recall you! In me be your sweet resting-    place, O kinsmen!
