HYMN CVI

A charm to protect a house from fire

1Let flowery Dūrvā grass grow up about thine exit and
   approach.
  There let a spring of water rise, or lake with blooming lotuses.
2This is the place where waters meet, here is the gathering of the
   flood.
  Our home is set amid the lake: turn thou thy jaws away from
   it.
3O House, we compass thee about with coolness to envelop thee.
  Cool as a lake be thou to us. Let Agni bring us healing balm!
