ATHARVA VEDA
BOOK III (3)
HYMN XXIX (30)
On the means to obtain immunity from taxation in the next world
[0303001] Freedom from hate I bring to you, concord and unanimity.
Love one another as the cow loveth the calf that she hath borne.
[0303002] One minded with his mother let the son be loyal to his sire.
Let the wife, calm and gentle, speak words sweet as honey to her lord.
[0303003] No brother hate his brother, no sister to sister be unkind.
Unanimous, with one intent, speak ye your speech in friend liness.
[0303004] That spell through which Gods sever not, nor ever bear each other hate, That spell we lay upon your home, a bond of union for the men.
[0303005] Intelligent, submissive, rest united, friendly and kind, bearing the yoke together.
Come, speaking sweetly each one to the other.
I make you one intentioned and one minded. [p. a102]
[0303006] Let what you drink, your share of food be common together, with one common bond I bid you. Serve Agni, gathered round him like the spokes about the chariot nave.
[0303007] With binding charm I make you all united, obeying one sole leader and one minded.
Even as the Gods who watch and guard the Amrit, at morn and eve may ye be kindly hearted.
