[0711001] Resistless, Agni, Indra, smite his foemen for the worshipper, For best foe slayers are ye both.

[0711002] Agni I call, and Indra, foe destroyers, swift moving, heroes, Gods who wield the thunder, Through whom they won the light in the beginning, these who have made all worlds their habitation.

[0711003] The God Brihaspati hath won thy friendly favour with the cup.
With hymns, O Indra, enter us for the juice pouring worshipper.

HYMN CXI (111)

[0711201] 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;

[0711301] Rough Plant, thou rough rude parasite, cut thou that man, O Rough and Rude, That thou mayst hinder from his act that man in all his manly strength.

That thou mayest be cast off by him, as by a bull a barren cow.

Evil Fortune! fly away, vanish from this place and from that.

[0711502] Granting us riches, Savitar! golden banded, send thou away from us to other regions That Fortune who, flying, abominable, hath, as a creeper climbs* a tree, assailed me.

[0711503] One and a hundred Fortunes all together are at his birth born with a mortal s body.
Of these we send away the most unlucky: keep lucky ones for us, O Jatavedas.

Here let auspicious Fortunes stay: hence have I banished evil ones.
