HYMN CXII

A prayer for protection and freedom from sin 1. Radiant with light are Heaven and Earth, whose grace is nigh,    whose sway is vast.   Seven Goddesses have flowed to us: may they deliver us from    woe; 2. Release me from the curse’s bond and plague that comes from   Varuna;   Free me from Yama’s fetter and from every sin against the   Gods.
