HYMN XIII

HYMN XIII 1. Lords of great wealth, Brihaspati and Indra, rejoicing at this    sacrifice drink Soma.   Let the abundant drops sink deep within you: vouchsafe us    riches with full store of heroes. 2. Let your swift-gliding coursers bear you hitherward with their    fleet pinions. Come ye forward with your arms.   Sit on the grass; a wide seat hath been made for you: delight    yourselves, O Maruts, in the pleasant food. 3. For Jātavedas, worthy of our praise, will we frame with our    mind this eulogy as ’twere a car.   For good in his assembly is this care of ours. Let us not in thy    friendship, Agni, suffer harm. 4. With these, borne on one car, Agni, approach us; or borne on    many, for thy steeds are able.   Bring, with their Dames, the Gods, the Three-and-Thirty, after    thy Godlike nature, and he joyful.
