HYMN LXI

A prayer for prosperity and greatness

1The Waters send me what is sweet and pleasant, Sūra bring all
  I need for light and vision!
  The deities, and all of pious nature, and Savitar the God afford
   me freedom!
2I set the heaven and the earth asunder, I brought all seven sea-
   sons into being.
  My word is truth, what I deny is falsehood, above celestial Vāk,
   above the nations.
3I gave existence to the earth and heaven, I made the seasons and
   the seven rivers.
  My word is truth; what I deny is falsehood, I who rejoice in
  Agni's, Soma's friendship.
