+      "content": "Fain would I win my friend to kindly friendship. So may the Sage, come through the air's wide ocean, Remembering the earth and days to follow, obtain a son the issue of his father.\n\nThy friend loves not the friendship which considers her who is near in kindred as a stranger. Sons of the mighty Asura, the heroes, supporters of the heaven, see far around them.\n\nYea, this the Immortals seek of thee with longing, a scion of the only man existing. Then let thy soul and mine be knit together. Embrace thy con- sort as her loving husband.\n\nShall we do now what we ne'er did aforetime? we who spoke righteously now talk impurely? Gandharva in the floods, the Dame of Waters—such is our bond, such our most lofty kinship.\n\nEven in the womb God Tvashtar, vivifier, shaping all forms, Creator, made us consorts. Ne'er are his holy statutes violated: that we are his the heaven and earth acknowledge.\n\nWho yokes to-day unto the pole of Order the strong and passio- nate steers of checkless spirit, With shaft-armed mouths, heart-piercing, joy-bestowing? Long shall he live who duly pays them service.\n\nWho knows that earliest day whereof thou speakest, Who hath beheld it? Who can here declare it? Great is the law of Varuna and Mitra. What, wanton, wilt thou say to men to tempt them?\n\nYami am possessed by love of Yama, that I may rest on the same couch beside him. I as a wife would yield me to my husband. Like car-wheels let us speed to meet each other.\n\nThey stand not still, they never close their eyelids, those senti- nels of Gods who wander round us. Not me—go quickly, wanton, with another, and hasten like a chariot-wheel to meet him.\n\nMay Sūrya's eye with days and nights endow him, and ever may his light spread out before him. In heaven and earth the kindred pair commingle. On Yami be the unbrotherly act of Yama.\n\nSure there will come succeeding times when brothers and sisters will do acts unmeet for kinsfolk. Not me, O fair one—seek another husband, and make thine arm a pillow for thy consort.\n\nIs he a brother when no help is left her? Is she a sister when Destruction cometh? Forced by my love these many words I utter. Come near, and hold me in thy close embraces,\n\nI am no help for thee, no refuge, Yami, I will not clasp and press thee to my bosom. This is abhorrent to my mind and spirit—a brother on the couch beside a sister.\n\nI will not fold mine arms about thy body: they call it sin when one comes near a sister. Not me—prepare thy pleasure with another. Thy brother seeks not this from thee, O fair one.\n\nAlas; thou art indeed a weakling Yama. We find in thee no trace o f heart or spirit. As round a tree the woodbine clings, another will cling about thee girt as with a girdle.\n\nEmbrace another, Yami. Let some other, even as the woodbine rings a tree, enfold thee. Win thou his heart and let him win thy fancy; so make with him a bond of blest alliance.\n\nThree hymns the Sages have disposed in order, the many-formed, the fair, the all-beholding. These in one single world are placed and settled—the growing plants, the breezes, and the waters.\n\nThe Bull hath yielded for the Bull the milk of heaven: inviolable is the Son of Aditi. According to his wisdom Varuna knoweth all: he halloweth, the holy, times for sacrifice.\n\nGandharvi spake. May she, the Lady of the Flood amid the river's roaring leave my heart untouched. May Aditi accomplish all that we desire, and may our eldest Brother tell us this as chief.\n\nYea, even this blessed Morning, rich in store of food, splendid, with heavenly lustre, hath shone out for man, Since they as was the wish of yearning Gods, brought forth that yearning Agni for the assembly as the Priest.\n\nAnd the fleet Falcon brought for sacrifice from afar this flowing. drop most excellent and passing wise, Then when the Aryan tribes chose as invoking Priest Agni the wonder-worker, and the hymn rose up.\n\nStill art thou kind to him who feeds thee as with grass, and. skilled in sacrifice offers thee holy gifts. When thou having received the sage's strengthening food with lauds, after long toil comest with many more.\n\nUrge thou thy Parents, as a lover, to delight: the lovely One desires and craves it from his heart. As Priest he calls aloud, as Warrior shows his skill, as Asura tries his strength, and with the hymn is stirred.\n\nFar famed is he, the mortal man, O Agni thou Son of strength, who hath obtained thy favour. He, gathering power, borne onward by his horses, makes his, days lovely in his might and splendour.\n\nHear us, O Agni, in the great assembly: harness thy rapid car,. the car of Amrit. Bring Heaven and Earth, the Deities' Parents, hither: stay with us here, nor from the Gods be absent.\n\nWhen, holy Agni, the divine assembly, the holy synod mid the Gods, is gathered, And when thou, godlike One, dealest forth treasures vouchsafe us too our portion of the riches.\n\nAgni hath looked upon the van of Mornings, and on the days. the earliest Jātavedas. After the Dawns, after their rays of brightness, Sūrya hath enter- ed into earth and heaven.\n\nAgni hath looked against the van of Mornings, against the days- the earliest Jātavedas; In many a place against the beams of Sūrya, against the heavens and earth hath he extended.\n\nHeaven and Earth, first by everlasting Order, speakers of truth, are near enough to hear us, When the God, urging men to worship, sitteth as Priest, assum- ing all his vital vigour.\n\nAs God comprising Gods by Law eternal, bear, as the chief who knoweth, our oblation, Smoke-bannered with the fuel, radiant, joyous, better to praise and worship, Priest for ever.\n\nI praise your work .that ye may make me prosper: hear, Heaven and Earth, twain worlds that drop with fatness! While days and Gods go to the world of spirits, have let the Parents with sweet mead refresh us.\n\nWhen the Cow's nectar wins the God completely, men here below are heaven's and earth's sustainers All the Gods come to this thy heavenly Yajus which from the motley Pair milked oil and water\n\nHath the King seized us? How have we offended against his holy Ordinance? Who knoweth? For even Mitra mid the Gods is angry. There are both song and wealth for those who come not.\n\n'Tis hard to understand the Immortal's nature, where she who is akin becomes a stranger. Guard ceaselessly, great Agni, him who ponders Yama's name easy to be comprehended.\n\nThey in the synod where the Gods rejoice them, where they are seated in Vivasvan's dwelling, Have given the Moon his beams, the Sun his splendour: the two unweariedly maintain their brightness.\n\nThe counsel which the Gods meet to consider, their secret plan, of that we have no knowledge. There let God Savitar, Aditi, and Mitra proclaim to Varuna that we are sinless.\n\nCompanions, let us learn a prayer to Indra whom the thunder arms, To glorify your bold and most heroic Friend.\n\nFor thou by slaying Vritra art the Vritra-slayer, famed for might. Thou, Hero, in rich gifts surpassest wealthy chiefs.\n\nO'er the broad land thou goest like a Stega: here on vast earth let breezes blow upon us, Here hath our dear Friend Varuna, united, like Agni in the wood, shot forth his splendour.\n\nSing praise to him the chariot-borne, the famous, Sovran of men, the dread and strong destroyer. O Rudra, praised be gracious to the singer; let thy darts spare us and smite down another.\n\nThe pious call Sarasvati, they worship Sarasvati while sacrifice proceedeth. The virtuous call Sarasvati to hear them. Sarasvati send bliss to him who giveth!\n\nSarasvati is called on by the Fathers who come right forward to our solemn worship. Seated upon this sacred grass rejoice you. Give thou us strengthening food that brings no sickness.\n\nSarasvati, who comest with the Fathers, joying in hymns, O Goddess, and oblations, Give plenteous wealth to this the sacrificer, a portion, worth a thousand, of refreshment.\n\nMay they ascend, the lowest, highest, midmost, the Fathers, who deserve a share of Soma. May they who have attained to life, the Fathers, righteous and gentle, aid us when we call them.\n\nI have attained the gracious-minded Fathers, I have gained son and progeny from Vishnu. They who enjoy pressed juices with oblation, seated on sacred grass, come oftenest hither.\n\nNow be this homage offered to the Fathers, to those who passed of old and those who followed, Those who have rested in the earthly region and those who dwell among the happy races.\n\nMātali prospers there with Kavyas, Yama with Angiras' sons, Brihaspati with singers. Exalters of the Gods, by Gods exalted, aid us those Fathers in our invocations?\n\nYes, this is good to taste and full of sweetness, verily it is strong and rich in flavour. No one may conquer Indra in the battle when he hath drunken of the draught we offer.\n\nHonour the King with your oblations, Yama, Vivasvān's son, who gathers men together. Even him who travelled o'er the mighty rivers, who searches out and shows the path to many.\n\nYama first found for us the road to travel: this pasture never can be taken from us. Men born on earth tread their own paths that lead them whither our ancient Fathers have departed.\n\nFathers who sit on sacred grass, come, help us: these offsprings have we made for you; accept them. So come to us with most auspicious favour: bestow on us unfailing health and plenty.\n\nBowing their bended knees and seated southward let all accept this sacrifice with favour. Punish us not for any sin, O fathers which we through human frailty have committed.\n\nTvashtar prepares the bridal for his daughter: therefore the whole of this our world assembles. But Yama's mother, spouse of great Vivasvān, vanished as she was carried to her dwelling.\n\nGo forth, go forth upon the homeward pathways whither our sires of old have gone before us. Then shalt thou look on both the Kings enjoying their sacred food, God Varuna and Yama.\n\nGo hence, depart ye, fly in all directions. This world for him the Fathers have provided. Yama bestow upon this man a dwelling adorned with days and beams of light and waters.\n\nWe set thee down with yearning, and with yearning we enkindle thee, Yearning, bring yearning Fathers nigh to eat the food of sacrifice.\n\nWe, splendid men, deposit thee, we, splendid men, enkindle thee. Splendid, bring splendid Fathers nigh to eat the sacrificial food.\n\nOur Fathers are Angirases, Navagvas, Atharvans, Bhrigus, who deserve the Soma. May these, the holy, look on us with favour; may we enjoy their gracious loving-kindness.\n\nCome, Yama, with Angirases, the holy; rejoice thee here with children of Virūpa. Seated on sacred grass at this oblation: I call Vivasvān too, thy father, hither.\n\nCome, seat thee on this bed of grass. O Yama, accordant with Angirases and Fathers. Let texts recited by the sages bring thee. O. King, let this oblation make thee joyful.\n\nHe hath gone hence and risen on high mounting heaven's ridges by that path Whereon the sons of Angiras, the conquerors of earth, went up."

Bow down before the Rishis of the olden time, the ancient ones who made the path.\n\nOffer to Yama, to the King, butter and milk in sacrifice. So may he grant that we may live long days of life mid living men,\n\nBurn him not up, nor quite consume him, Agni. Let not his body or his skin be scattered. O Jātavedas, when thou hast matured him, then send him on his way unto the Fathers.\n\nWhen thou hast made him ready, Jātavedas, then do thou give him over to the Fathers. When he attains unto the life that waits him he will obey the Deities' commandment.\n\nWith the three jars Brihat alone makes pure the six wide-spread- ing realms. The Gāyatri, the Trishtup, all metres in Yama are contained.\n\nThe Sun receive thine eye, the wind thy spirit; go, as thy merit is, to earth or heaven. Go, if it be thy lot, unto the waters: go, make thy home in plants with all thy members.\n\nThy portion is the goat: with heat consume him: let thy fierce flame, thy glowing splendour, burn him. With thine auspicious forms, O Jātavedas, bear this man to the region of the pious.\n\nLet all thy rapid flames, O Jātavedas, wherewith thou fillest heaven and earth's mid-region, Follow the goat as he goes on, united: then with the others, most auspicious, aid us.\n\nAway O Agni, to the Fathers, send him who, offered in thee, goes with our oblations. Wearing new life let him approach his offspring, and splendid, be invested with a body,\n\nRun and outspeed the two dogs, Sarama's offspring, brindled, four-eyed, upon thy happy pathway. Draw nigh thou to the gracious-minded Fathers who take their pleasure in the feast with Yama.\n\nAnd those two dogs of thine, Yama, the watchers, four-eyed who look on men and guard the pathway Entrust this man, O King, to their protection, and with prosperity and health endow him.\n\nDark-hued, insatiate, with distended nostrils, Yama's two envoys roam among the people. May they restore to us a fair existence here and to-day that we may see the sunlight.\n\nFor some the Soma juice runs clear some sit by sacrificial oil. To those for whom the meath flows forth, even to those let him depart.\n\nLet him, O Yama, go to those Rishis austere, of Fervour born, First followers of Law, the sons of Law, upholders of the Law.\n\nInvincible through Fervour, they who by their Fervour went to heaven. Who practised great austerity,—even to those let him depart.\n\nThe heroes who contend in war and boldly cast their lives away. Or who give guerdon thousandfold,—even to those let him depart.\n\nLet him, O Yama, go to those Rishis austere, of Fervour born, Skilled in a thousand ways and means, the sages who protect the Sun.\n\nBe pleasant unto him, O Earth, thornless and lulling him to rest. Vouchsafe him shelter broad and sure.\n\nIn the free amplitude of earth take roomy space to lodge thee in. Let all oblations which in life thou paidest drop thee honey now.\n\nHither I call thy spirit with my spirit. Come thou; delighted, to these dwelling-places. Unite thee with the Fathers and with Yama: strong and delicious be the winds that fan thee.\n\nFloating in water, bringing streams, let Maruts carry thee aloft, And causing coolness by their rush sprinkle thee with their fall- ing rain.\n\nI have recalled thy life to life, to being, power, and energy. Let thy soul go unto its own: so to the Fathers hasten thou.\n\nLet not thy soul be left behind: here let not aught of thee remain, Of spirit, body, members, sap.\n\nLet not a tree oppness thee, nor Earth the great Goddess weigh thee down. Among the Fathers find thy home, and thrive mid those whom Yama rules.\n\nEach parted member, severed from thy body, thy vital breaths that in the wind have vanished, With all of these, piece after piece, shall Fathers who dwell to- gether meet and reunite thee.\n\nHim have the living banished from their houses: remove him to a distance from the hamlet. Yama's observant messenger was Mrityu he hath despatched men's lives unto the Fathers.\n\nThose Dasyus who, not eating our oblations, come wilh friends' faces mingled with the Fathers, Those who wear gross those who wear subtile bodies,—from this. our sacrifice let Agni blast them.\n\nBringing delight, prolonging our existence, here let our own, the Fathers, dwell together. Coming with sacrifice may we assist them, living long lives through many autumn seasons.\n\nNow by this cow I bring thee, by the boiled rice set in milk for thee, Be the supporter of the folk left here without a livelihood.\n\nProlong the pleasant Dawn enriched with horses-or bearing us. anew beyond the darkness. Adjudged to die be he, the man who slew thee: this portion let him find, and not another.\n\nYama is higher and Vivasvān lower: nothing whatever do I see above him. This sacrifice of mine is based on Yama, Vivasvān spread the atmosphere about us.\n\nFrom mortal men they hid the immortal Lady, made one like her and gave her to Vivasvān. Saranyū brought to him the Asvin brothers, and then deserted both twinned pairs of children.\n\nBring thou the Fathers one and all Agni, to eat the sacrifice. The buried, and the cast away, those burnt with fire, and those exposed.\n\nThose, whether flames have burnt or not consumed them, who in the midst of heaven enjoy oblations— Let them, when thou dost know them, Jatavedas, accept with sacred food the axe and worship.\n\nBurn gently, Agni, burn not up the body with too fervent heat. Let all thy force and fury be expended on the woods and earth.\n\nI give this place to him who hath come hither and now is mine, to be a home to rest in: This was the thought of Yama when he answered: This man is. mine.

A hundred autumns: not before.\n\nThe period I have measured—come to heaven. I would my life were long Not to be measured out again; a hundred autumns, not before.\n\nInbreath and outbreath, breath diffused, life, sight to look upon the Sun Seek by a straight unwinding path the Fathers whom King Yama rules,\n\nUnmarried men who toiled and have departed, the childless, having left their foes behind them, Have found on high the world whereto they mounted, reflecting on the ridge of vaulted heaven.\n\nThe lowest is the Watery heaven, Pilumatī the middlemost; The third and highest, that wherein the Fathers dwell, is called Pradyaus.\n\nThe Fathers of our Father, his Grandfathers, those who have entered into air's wide region, Those who inhabit earth or dwell in heaven, these Fathers will we worship with oblation.\n\nThou seest now, and ne'er again shalt look upon, the Sun in heaven. Cover him as a mother draws her skirt about her son, O Earth!\n\nThis once,,and at no other time hereafter in a lengthened life: Cover him, as a wife, O Earth, covers her husband with her robe!\n\nRound thee auspiciously I wrap the vesture of our Mother Earth: Be bliss among the living mine, oblation mid the Fathers thine!\n\nYe have prepared, pathmakers, Agni-Soma, a fair world for the Gods to be the it treasure. Go to that world and send us Pūshan hither to bear us on the paths the goat hath trodden.\n\nGuard of the world, whose cattle ne'er are injured, may Pūshan bear thee hence, for he hath knowledge. May he consign thee to these Fathers' keeping, and to the gracious Gods let Agni give hee.\n\nLord of all life, let Ayu guard thee, Pūshan convey thee forward on the distant pathway. May Savitar the God conduct thee thither where dwell the pious who have gone before thee.\n\nFor thee I yoke these carriers twain to bear thee to the spirit. world. Hasten with them to Yama's home and join his gathered. companies.\n\nThis is the robe that first was wrapped about thee: cast off the robe thou worest here among us. Go, knowing, to the meed of virtuous action, thy many gifts. bestowed upon the friendless.\n\nMail thee with flesh against the flames of Agni; encompass thee about with fat and marrow; So will the bold One eager to attack thee with fierce glow fail to girdle and consume thee.\n\nFrom his dead hand I take the staff he carried, together with his lore and strength and splendour. There art thou, there; and here with good men round us may we o'ercome all enemies and foemen.\n\nFrom his dead hand I take the bow he carried, together with his. power and strength and splendour. Having collected wealth and ample treasure, come hither to the- world of living beings."

That he may dwell in Yama's home addressing the assemblies there.\n\nSeize hold O Jātavedas; let thy flame be full of fervent heat. Consume his body: to the world of pious ones transport this man.\n\nTo these, thy Fathers who have passed away at first and after- ward, Let the full brook of butter run, o'erflowing with a hundred streams.\n\nMount to this life, removing all defilement: here thine own kindred shine with lofty splendour. Depart thou; be not left behind: go forward, first of those here, unto the world of Fathers."

Hymn this with your oblations, Visvāmitras: may he, may Yama, lengthen our existence.\n\nAs the Five Races of mankind for Yama set apart a house. Even so I set a house apart that greater numbers may be mine.\n\nTake thou and wear this piece of gold, the gold thy father used to wear. Wipe tenderly the right hand of thy sire who goes away to heaven.\n\nTo all, the living and the dead, all that are born, the worshipful. Let the full brook of fatness run, o'erflowing, with stream of mead.\n\nFar-seeing he flows on, the Bull, the Lord of hymns, promoter of the Sun, of Days, of Dawns, of Heaven. Breath of the rivers he hath roared into the jars, and through his wisdom entered into Indra's heart.\n\nLet thy bright smoke envelop thee, spread forth, O Bright One, in the sky. For, Purifier, like the Sun thou shinest with thy radiant glow.\n\nIndu is moving forth to Indra's destined place, and slights not as a friend the promise of his friend. Thou, Soma, comest nigh as bridegroom meets the bride, reach- ing the beaker by a course of hundred paths.\n\nWell have they eaten and rejoiced: their dear ones have they shaken off. Sages, self-luminous, have praised: we who are youngest supplicate.\n\nCome hither, Fathers, who deserve the Soma, by the deep path- ways which the Fathers travel. Bestow upon us life and store of children, and favour us with increase of our riches.\n\nDepart, O Fathers, ye who merit Soma, by the deep pathways which the Fathers travel; But in a month, rich in fair sons and heroes, come back into our homes to eat oblation.\n\nIf Agni Jātavedas, as he bore you hence to the Fathers' world, hath left one single. Limb of your bodies, here do I restore it. Fathers, rejoice in heaven with all your members!\n\nMeet for men's praises, Agni Jātavedas was sent as envoy when the day was closing. Thou gavest to the Fathers with oblation. They ate; eat, God, our offered sacrifices.\n\nHere hast thou left thy heart; O man, as sisters leave their little pet. Do thou, O earth, envelop him.\n\nBright be to thee those worlds where dwell the Fathers! I seat thee in that sphere which they inhabit.\n\nThou art the grass whereon our Fathers seat them.\n\nLoosen, O Varuna, the bond that binds us; loosen the bond above, between, and under. Then under thy protection, O Āditya, may we be sinless and restored to freedom.\n\nFrom all those bonds, O Varuna, release us, wherewith a man is bound at length and cross-wise. Then may we live a hundred autumn seasons guarded by thee, O King, by thee protected.\n\nTo Agni, bearer of oblation to the Manes, be Hail! and homage!\n\nTo Soma connected with the Fathers Hail! and homage!\n\nTo the Fathers connected with Soma Hail! and homage!\n\nTo Yama connected with the Fathers Hail! and homage!\n\nTo thee, O Great-grandfather, and those with thee be this cry of Hail\n\nTo thee, Great-grandfather, and to those with thee be this cry of Hail!\n\nTo thee, O Fathers, be this cry of Hail!\n\nHail to the Fathers who inhabit earth!\n\nHail to the Fathers who inhabit the firmament!\n\nHail to the Fathers who dwell in heaven!\n\nHail, Fathers, to your energy! Hail, Fathers, to your sap!\n\nHail Father; to your wrath! Hail, Fathers, to your ardour!\n\nHail, Fathers, to what is awful! Hail to what is terrible in you!'\n\nHail, Fathers, to all that is propitious! Hail to all that is plea- sant in you!\n\nHomage to you Fathers! Hail to you, Fathers!\n\nAll Fathers who are here, the Fathers here are you: let then- follow you. May ye be the most excellent of these.\n\nAll living fathers who are here are we here: let them follow us. May we be the most excellent of these.\n\nBright Agni, we will kindle thee, rich in thy splendour, fading. not. So that this glorious fuel may send forth to heaven its light for thee. Bring food to those who sing thy praise.\n\nWithin the waters runs the Moon, the strong-winged Eagle soars. in heaven. Ye Lightnings with your golden wheels, men find not your abid- ing-place. Hear this my call, O Heaven and Earth."
