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.
