Anuvaka 43
1a His rays bear up the god Who knoweth all, The sun for all to see. b The radiant countenance of the gods hath risen, The eye of Mitra, Varuna, Agni; He hath filled the sky and earth and atmosphere; The sun is the self of all that moveth and standeth. c O Agni, lead us by a fair path to wealth, O god, knowing all the ways; Drive from us the sin that maketh us wander; We will accord to thee most abundant honour. d Go to the sky, fly to heaven. c With my form [1] I approach your form; with my age your age. f May Tutha, all knowing, allot to you in the highest firmament. g This gift of thine, Agni, cometh, impelled by the Soma. h Lead it by the path of Mitra. i Go ye on by the path of holy order, of brilliant gifts, Leading prosperity by the path of the sacrifice. k May I win a Brahman to-day, a seer and sprung from seers, of (famous) father and grandfather, fit for the sacrificial gift. l Gaze on the heaven, gaze on the atmosphere. m Join those in the seat. n Given by us, go to the gods, full of sweetness; enter the giver; without leaving us fare by the path leading to the gods; sit in the world of the righteous. o Be this complete for us.
