Anuvaka 9

1a I grasp (thee).     b Thou art Indra's right arm with a thousand spikes, a hundred edges.     c Thou art the wind of sharp edge.     d O earth whereon sacrifice is offered to the gods, let me harm not the root of thy plant.     e Araru is smitten away from the earth.     f Go to the fold where the cattle are.     g May heaven rain for thee.     h O god Savitr, bind thou in the furthest distance with a hundred fetters him who hateth us and whom we hate, thence let him not free.     i Araru is smitten away from the earth, the place of sacrifice.     k Go to the fold [1] where the cattle are.     l May heaven rain for thee.     m O god Savitr &c.     n Araru is smitten away from the earth, he that sacrifices not to the gods.     o Go to the fold where the cattle are.     p May heaven rain for thee.     q O god Savitr, &c. [2]     r Let not Araru mount the sky for thee.     s Let the Vasus grasp thee with the Gayatri metre, let the Rudras grasp thee with the Tristubb. metre, let the Adityas grasp thee with the Jagati metre.     t On the impulse of the god Savitr wise ones perform the rite.     u Thou art the right, thou art the seat of right, thou art the glory of right.     v Thou art the holder, thou art the self-holder.     w Thou art broad, and wealthy art thou.     x Before the cruel foe slips away, O glorious one,     Taking up the earth, with plenteous drops,     The earth which they place in the moon by their offerings,     Which wise men use to guide them in the sacrifice.
