HYMN XVII

A prayer for wealth and children 1. May the Ordainer give us wealth, Lord, ruler of the world of    life: with full hand may he give to us. 2. May Dhātar grant the worshipper henceforth imperishable life.   May we obtain the favour of the God who giveth every boon. 3. To him may Dhātar grant all kinds of blessings who, craving    children, serves him in his dwelling.   Him may the Gods invest with life eternal, yea, all the Gods and   Aditi accordant. 4. May this our gift please Savitar, Rāti, Dhātar, Prajāpati, and   Agni Lord of Treasures.   May Tvashtar, Vishnu, blessing him with children, give store ot    riches to the sacrificer.
