HYMN XVI

A Rishi's morning prayer

1Agni at dawn, and Indra we invoke at dawn, and Varuna and
  Mitra, and the Asvins twain:
  Bhaga at dawn, Pūshan and Brāhmanaspati, Soma at dawn, and
  Rudra we invoke at dawn.
2We all strong Bhaga, conqueror in the morning, the son of
  Aditi, the great Disposer,
  Whom each who deems himself poor, strong and mighty, a king,
   addresses thus, Grant thou my portion!
3Bhaga, our guide, Bhaga whose gifts are faithful, favour this
   hymn and give us wealth, O Bhaga.
  Bhaga, augment our store of kine and horses. Bhaga, may we be
   rich in men and heroes.
4So may felicity be ours at present, and when the Sun advances,
   and at noontide;
  And may we still, O Bounteous One, at sunset be happy in the
  Gods' protecting favour. p. a85
5May Bhaga verily be bliss-bestower, and through him, Gods!
   may happiness attend us.
  As such with all my might I call and call thee: as such be thou
   our leader here, O Bhaga.
6To this our sacrifice may the Dawns incline them, and come to
   the pure place like Dadhikrāvan.
  As strong steeds draw a chariot may they bring me hitherward
  Bhaga who discovers treasure.
7May the kind Mornings dawn on us for ever with, wealth of
   kine, of horses, and of heroes.
  Streaming with all abundance, pouring fatness,
  Do ye preserve us evermore with blessings!
