HYMN XCVI

A prayer for deliverance from sin and sorrow

1The many plants of hundred shapes and forms that Soma rules
   as King, p. a245
  Commanded by Brihaspati, deliver us from grief and woe!
2Let them release me from the curse and from the noose of
  Varupa,
  Free me from Yama's fetter, and from every sin against the
  Gods!
3From every fault in look, in word, in spirit that we, awake or
   sleeping, have committed,
  May Soma, with his godlike nature, cleanse us.
