VATSA KANWA

 

sukta  11

1.  O Fire, thou art the guardian of the law of all workings, thou art the divine in mortals; thou art one to be prayed in the sacrifices.

2.  O forceful one, it is thou who art to be expressed in the findings of knowledge; O Fire, thou art the charioteer of the pilgrim-sacrifices.

3. So do thou remove away from us the enemies, O knower of all things born, even the undivine and hostile forces, O Fire.

4. Even when it is near, O surely thou comest not to the sacrifice of our mortal foe, O knower of all things born.

5. Mortals illumined we meditate on the many names of thee

    the immortal, the knower of all things born.

6. We call the Fire with our words, illumined we call the illumined for our guard, mortals we call the god for our protection.

7. Vatsa compels thy mind even from the supreme world of thy session, O Fire, by his Word that longs for thee.

8. Thou art the equal lord of all peoples in many lands; we call to thee in the battles.

9.  We call to the Fire to guard us in our battles, we who seek the plenitudes; in the plenitudes richly manifold is his achievement.

10.  For thou art of old one to be prayed in the pilgrim-sacrifices, and from time eternal thou sittest as the ever-new Priest of the call; O Fire, gladden thy own body and bring happiness to us by the sacrifice.
