HYMN CVI

A charm to protect a house from fire

Let flowery Durva grass grow up about thine exit and
approach.
There let a spring of water rise, or lake with blooming lotuses.
This is the place where waters meet, here is the gathering of the
flood.
Our home is set amid the lake: turn thou thy jaws away from
it.
O House, we compass thee about with coolness to envelop thee.
Cool as a lake be thou to us. Let Agni bring us healing balm!
