SUKLA YAJUR VEDA
BOOK 22.
1
SPLENDOUR art thou, bright, deathless, life protector.
Protector of my life be thou.
By impulse of God Savitar I take thee with arms of Asvins, with the hands of Pushan.
2
This girdle, which in their religious meetings sages assumed in earlier time of worship, Is present with us here at this libation, in the Law s hymn, proclaiming rich abundance.
3
Famous art thou, thou art the world, controller and upholder thou.
Go, consecrate by Svaha to Agni Vaisvanara widely famed.
4
For Gods and for Prajapati I fit thee.
For Gods and for Prajapati, O Brahman, Will I tie up the horse.
Thence may I prosper! Binding him for Prajapati and Gods be thou successful.
5
Thee welcome to Prajapati I sprinkle.
I sprinkle thee welcome to Indra Agni.
I sprinkle thee acceptable to Vayu.
Thee welcome to the All Gods I besprinkle.
Thee welcome to all Deities I sprinkle.
With fury Varuna attacks the man who fain would slay the steed.
Avaunt the man! Avaunt the dog!
