HYMN XCVI

A prayer for deliverance from sin and sorrow 1. The many plants of hundred shapes and forms that Soma rules    as King,   Commanded by Brihaspati, deliver us from grief and woe! 2. Let them release me from the curse and from the noose of   Varupa,   Free me from Yama's fetter, and from every sin against the   Gods! 3. From every fault in look, in word, in spirit that we, awake or    sleeping, have committed,   May Soma, with his godlike nature, cleanse us.
