HYMN LVIII

A priest’s prayer for power and glory 1. May Indra Maghavan give me name and glory. May Heaven    and Earth, this couple, make me famous.   May Savitar the deity make me honoured. Here may the man    who gives the guerdon love me. 2. Indra from Heaven and Earth receiveth glory among the plants    the Waters have their glory;   Even so may we be glorious’mid all the Universal Gods. 3. Indra and Agni were renowned, famous was Soma at his birth;   So too am I illustrious, most glorious of all that is.
