HYMN CXVIII

A prayer for pardon of cheating at play 1. If we have sinned with both our hands, desiring to take the host    of dice for our possession,   May both Apsarases to-day forgive us that debt, the fiercely-    conquering, fiercely-looking. 2. Stern viewers of their sins who rule the people, forgive us what    hash happened as we gambled.   Not urging us to pay the debt we owed him, he with a cord    hath gone to Yama’s kingdom. 3. My creditor, the man whose wife I visit, he, Gods! whom I    approach with supplication,   Let not these men dominate me in speaking. Mind this, ye two   Apsarases, Gods’ Consorts!
