HYMN XLIX. Devas.

THIS day I bring Deva Indra to meet you, and Bhaga who allots the wealth of mortals.

You, Indra. Heroes rich in treasures, daily seeking your friendship fain would I turn hither.

Knowing full well the Devas's time of coming, worship Deva Indra with hymns and praises. Let him who rightly knoweth speak with homage to him who dealeth out man's noblest treasure.

Not for reward doth PΕ«αΉ£an send his blessings, Bhaga, or Aditi: his garb is splendour. May Indra, Visniu, Indra, Mitra, Agni produce auspicious days, the Wonder-Workers.

Sending the shelter which we ask, the foeless Indra and the Rivers shall approach us. When I, the offering's priest, invite them. May we he lords of wealth and rich possessions.

They who devote such worship to the Devas, singing their hymns to Indra and Mitra, vouchsafe them ample room, far off be danger. Through grace of Heaven and Eart. May we be happy.
