HYMN XL

A prayer for prosperity

We call Sarasvan, under whose protection all cattle wander, to
preserve and aid us,
Him in whose ordinance abide the waters, to whose command
the Lord of Plenty listens.
Abiding here let us invoke Sarasvan, the seat of riches, glorious,
wealth-increaser,
Him who inclines and gives to him who worships, the rich pos-
sessor and the Lord of Fulness.
