Rig Veda

  1. LIKE heaven art thou: one form is bright, one holy, like Day and Night dissimilar in colour. All magic powers thou aidest, self-depen. dent! Auspicious be thy bounty here, O Pūṣan. 2 Goat-borne, the guard of cattle, he whose home is strength, inspirer of the hymn, set over all the world; Brandishing here and there his lightly. moving goad, beholding every creature, Pūṣan, God, goes forth. 3 O Pūṣan, with thy golden ships that travel across the ocean, in the air’s mid-region, Thou goest on an embassy to Sūrya, subdued by love, desirous of the glory. 4 Near kinsman of the heaven and earth is Pūṣan, liberal, Lord of food, of wondrous iustre, Whom strong and vigorous and swiftlymoving, subdued by love, the Deities gave to Sūrya.
