The wicked horse is sleeping. c O fair one, clad in fair raiment in the world of heaven be ye two covered.... {...several verses omitted from original translation...} 1 When the deer eateth grain, He deemeth not his flock fat. When the Çadra woman is the loved of the Aryan, She seeketh not wealth for prosperity.... {...several verses omitted from original translation...} q Dadhikravan have I sung, The swift strong horse. May he make our mouths fragrant; May he lengthen our days. r Ye waters are healing; Further us to strength, To see great joy. s The most auspicious flavour that is yours Accord to us here Like eager mothers. t To him may we come with satisfaction, To whose dwelling ye quicken us, O waters, and propagate us. vii. 4. 20. a Bhuh! Bhuvah! Svar! b Let the Vasus anoint thee with the Gayatri metre. Let the Rudras anoint thee with Tristubh metre. Let the Adityas anoint thee with the Jagati metre. c As the wind hath gone to the waters, Indra's dear body, By that path, O praiser, Bring back to us the horse. d O thou that hast barley, that hast grain, (bring) renown for me; e For barley, for milk, this food eat, O ye gods; this food eat, O Prajapati. f They yoke the tawny ruddy one, Which goeth round them that stand; The lights shine in the sky. g They yoke his dear steeds On either side of the chariot, Dark, strong, bearing heroes. A Making a banner for that which hath none, Form for the formless, O ye men, Thou wert born with the dawns. vii. 4. 21. To expiration hail! To cross-breathing hail! To inspiration hail! To sinews hail! To ligatures hail! To surrounding ligatures hail! To joints hail! To joinings hail! To bodies hail! To the sacrifice hail! To the sacrificial gifts hail! To heaven hail! To the world hail! To all hail! vii. 4. 22. To the bound hail! To the unbound hail! To the fastened hail! To the unfastened hail! To the yoked hail! To the unyoked hail! To the well-yoked hail! To the unyoked hail! To the one set free hail! To the one lot go hail!
