HYMN III

A charm to secure power and long life

1I am the head of riches. Fain would I be the head of mine
   equals.
2Let not Ruja and Vena desert me. Let not the Head and the
  Preserver forsake me.
3Let not the Boiler and the Cup fail tme: let not the Supporter
   and the Sustainer abandon me.
4Let not Unyoking and the Moist-fellied car desert me: let not
   the Sender of Moisture and Matarisvan forsake me.
5Brihaspati is my soul, he who is called the Friend of man, dear
   to my heart.
6My heart is free from sorrow; spacious is my dwelling-place. I
   am the sea in capacity.
