Book 16: Hymn 9: A charm to secure wealth and felicity

1Ours is superior place and ours is conquest: may I in all fights tread down spite and malice. 2This word hath Agni, this hath Soma spoken. May Pūshan set me in the world of virtue. 3We have come to the light of heaven; to the light of heaven have we come: we have united with the light of Surya. 4Sacrifice is fraught with wealth for the increase of prosperity. I would win riches; fain would I be wealthy. Do thou bestow wealth upon me.
