p. 127
Ma\"N"D"Ala I, Hymn 98.
Ash\"T"Aka I, Adhyya 7, Varga 6.
1. May we dwell in the favour of (Agni) Vai"s"vnara. He indeed is a king, leading all beings to gloriousness 1. As soon as born from here he looks over this whole world. Vai"s"vnara unites with the Sun 2.
2. Agni who has been looked and longed for 1 in Heaven, who has been looked for on Earth--he who has been looked for, has entered all herbs. May Agni Vai"s"vnara, who has strongly been looked for, protect us from harm by day and by night.
3. Vai"s"vnara! May this be true of thee: may wealth and liberal givers attend us! May Mitra and Varu"n"a grant us this, may Aditi, the Sindhu, the Earth, and the Sky!
