Anuvaka 6

1a I gaze on offspring,     Offspring of Ida, connected with Manu;     May they all be in our house.     b Ye are water; may I share your water. Ye are greatness, may I share your greatness; ye are might, may I share your might; ye are strength, may I share your strength.     c Ye wealthy ones, stay in this place, this fold, this dwelling, this birthplace; be ye here; go not hence; be many for me [1].     d Thou art composed of every form; enter me with strength, with lordship of kine, with increase of wealth.     e May I prosper with your thousandfold prosperity; may your wealth rest in me.     f To thee, O Agni, day by day,     That shinest in the darkness, with our devotion,     We come bearing honour.     g Lord of the sacrifices,     Guardian of holy order, shining,     Waxing in his own horne.     h O Agni, be of easy access to us,     As a father to his son;     Befriend us for prosperity.     i O Agni [2] be thou our nearest,     Our protector, kindly, a shield;     Thee, O shining and most radiant one,     We implore for favour, for our friends;     Agni, bright, of bright fame,     Come hither in thy greatest splendour and give us wealth.     k With strength I gaze on you; gaze on me with strength. With increase of wealth I gaze on you; gaze on me with increase of wealth.     l Ye are food, making sweetness; kindly enter me, nourishment and drink; may I prosper with your thousandfold prosperity [3], may your wealth rest on me,     m That excellent glory of Savitr     The god we meditate,     That be may stimulate our prayers.'     n Make famous the Soma-presser,     O lord of prayer,     Even as (thou did make famous) Kaksivant Auçija.     o Never art thou barren, O Indra,     Never dost thou fail thy worshipper;     Now more and more is thy divine gift increased,     O bountiful one.     p May we set thee around us, O Agni,     The sage, the strong, as a fort,     Of daring hue, day by day     Destroyer of that which may be broken.     q O Agni, lord of the house, through thee as lord of the house, may I be a good lord of the house; through me as lord of the house, mayst thou be a good lord of the house; for a hundred winters, this blessing I invoke, bringing light for the race; this blessing I invoke, bringing light for N.
