HYMN LII. Adityas.

1. MAY we be free from every bond, Adityas! a castle among Gods and men, ye Vasus.

Winning, may we win Varuna and Mitra, and, being, may we be, O Earth and Heaven.

2 May Varuna and Mitra grant this blessing, our Guardians, shelter to our seed and offspring.

Let us not suffer for another's trespass. nor do the thing that ye, O Vasus, punish.

3 The ever-prompt Angirases, imploring riches from Savitar the God, obtained them.

So may our Father who is great and holy, and all the Gods, accordant, grant this favour.
