HYMN LXII

A prayer for purification and riches

Cleanse us Vaisvanara with rays of splendour! With breath and
clouds let quickening Vayu cleanse us.
And, rich in milky rain, let Earth and Heaven, worshipful, holy,
cleanse us with their water.
Lay hold on Sunrita whose forms and regions have fair smooth
backs, her who is all men's treasure.
Through her may we, in sacrificial banquets singing her glory, be
the lords of riches.
For splendour, seize on her whom all men worship, becoming
pure yourselves, and bright, and brilliant.
Here, through our prayer rejoicing in the banquet, long may we
look upon the Sun ascending.
