Hymns of the Atharva Veda (Griffith) ยท 1 passage

1

1The heavenly Waters have I ranged: we have been sated with their dew. p. a311 Here, Agni, bearing milk, am I. Endow me with the gift of strength. 2Endow me with the gift of strength, with children, and a length- ened life. May the Gods mark this prayer of mine, may Indra with the Rishis mark. 3Ye Waters, wash away this stain and whatsoever taint be here, Each sinful wrong that I have done and every harmless curse of mine. 4Thou art the wood, may I succeed! fuel, may I be glorified! splendour, give splendour unto me.
