HYMN XIV

A prayer to Savitar for prosperity 1. I praise this God, parent of heaven and earth, exceeding wiser    possessed of real energy, giver of treasure, thinker dear to all,. 2. Whose splendour is sublime, whose light shone brilliant in crea-    tion, who, wise, and golden-handed, in his beauty made the    sky. 3. As thou, God! quickening, for our ancient father, sentest him    height above and room about him,   So unto us, O Savitar, send treasures, abundant, day by day, in    shape of cattle. 4. Savitar, God, our household friend, most precious, hath sent    our fathers life and power and riches.   Let him drink Soma and rejoice when worshipped. Under his    law even the Wanderer travels.
