Rig Veda

  1. STILL in Vaiśvānara’s grace may we continue: yea, he is King supreme o’er all things living. Sprung hence to life upon this All he looketh. Vaiśvānara hath rivalry with Sūrya. 2 Present in heaven, in earth, all-present Agni,—all plants that grow on ground hath he pervaded. May Agni, may Vaiśvānara with vigour, present, preserve us day and night from foemen. 3 Be this thy truth, Vaiśvānara, to us-ward: let wealth in rich abundance gather round us. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
