Book 6: Hymn 62: A prayer for purification and riches

1Cleanse us Vaisvānara with rays of splendour! With breath and clouds let quickening Vāyu cleanse us. p. a229 And, rich in milky rain, let Earth and Heaven, worshipful, holy, cleanse us with their water. 2Lay hold on Sūnritā whose forms and regions have fair smooth backs, her who is all men's treasure. Through her may we, in sacrificial banquets singing her glory, be the lords of riches. 3For splendour, seize on her whom all men worship, becoming pure yourselves, and bright, and brilliant. Here, through our prayer rejoicing in the banquet, long may we look upon the Sun ascending.
