HYMN LXIX

A priest's prayer for power and glory

Mine be the glory in the hill, in vales, in cattle, and in gold,
Mine be the sweetness that is found in nectar and in flowing
wine!
With your delicious honey balm me, Asvins, Lords of splendid
light!
That clear and resonant may be the voice I utter to mankind.
In me be strength, in me be fame, in me the power of sacrifice:
Prajapati establish this in me as firm as light in heaven!
