HYMN LXXX

A prayer for help and protection

1He flieth in the firmament observing all the things that be:
  We with this offering will adore the greatness of the Heavenly
  Hound. p. a237
2The three, the Kālakānjas, set aloft in heaven as they were
  Gods
  All these I call to be our help and keep this man secure from
   harm.
3In waters is thy birth, in heaven thy station, thy majesty on
   earth and in the ocean.
  We with this offering will adore the greatness of the Heavenly
  Hound.
