HYMN LXXVIII
A charm for a prince's prosperity 1. I free thee from the cord, I loose the bond, I loose the fastening. Even here, perpetual, Agni, wax thou strong. 2. I with celestial prayer appoint thee, Agni, maintainer of this man in princely powers. Here brightly shine for us with wealth: declare thou to Gods this favoured giver of oblations.
