HYMN CXXV. Vāk.

I TRAVEL with the Somas and the Devas, with the Ādityas and All-Devas I wander.

I hold aloft both Indra and Mitra, Indra and Agni, and the Pair of Indra.

I cherish and sustain high-swelling Soma, and Tvaṣṭar I support, Pūṣan, and Bhaga. I load with wealth the zealous sdcrificer who pours the juice and offers his oblation

I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first of those who merit worship. Thus Devas have stablished me in many places with many homes to enter and abide in.

Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them.each man who sees, brewhes, hears the word outspoken They know it not, but yet they dwell beside me. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it.

1, verily, myself announce and utter the word that Devas and men alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make him a sage, a Ṛṣi, and a Brahman.

I bend the bow for Soma that his arro. May strike and subdue the hater of devotion. I rouse and order battle for the people, and I have penetrated Earth and Heaven.

On the world's summit I bring forth the Father: my home is in the waters, in the ocean. Thence I extend o’er all existing creatures, and touch even yonder Heaven with my forehead.

I breathe a strong breath like the wind and tempest, the while I hold together all existence. Beyond this wide Earth and beyond the heavens I have become so mighty in my grandeur.
