HYMN III

A prayer to various deities for protection and prosperity 1. Guard us the Maruts! Guard us well, O Indra, Piishan, Aditi.   Guard us, O Waters’ Child, and Rivers Seven. May Vishnu    guard us, and the Sky. 2. May Heaven and Earth take care of us for victory, may Pressing-   Stone and Soma save us from distress.   Sarasvati, auspicious Goddess, guard us well: preserve us Agni    and his kind protecting powers. 3. Preserve us both the Asvins, Gods and Lords of Light, and let    the Dawns and Night bring us deliverance.   The Waters’ Child protect our house from every harm. Do thou,   God Tvashtar, make us strong for health and wealth.
