1. HERE is one light for thee,
another yonder: enter the third and he therewith united.
Uniting with a body be thou welcome, dear to
the Gods in their sublimest birthplace.
2 Bearing thy body, Vajin, may
thy body afford us blessing and thyself protection.
Unswerving, stablish as it were in heaven thine
own light as the mighty God's supporter.
3 Strong Steed art thou: go to
the yearning Maidens with vigour, happily go to heaven and praises:
Fly happily to the Gods with easy passage,
according to the first and faithful statutes.
4 Part of their grandeur have
the Fathers also gained: the Gods have seated mental power in them as Gods.
They have embraced within themselves all
energies, which, issuing forth, again into their bodies pass.
5 They strode through all the
region with victorious might, establishing the old immeasurable laws.
They compassed in their bodies all existing
things, and streamed forth offipring in many successive forms.
6 In two ways have the sons
established in his place the Asura who finds the light, by the third act,
As fathers, they have set their heritage on
earth, their offspring, as a thread continuously spun out.
7 As in a ship through
billows, so through regions of air, with blessings, through toils and troubles
Hath Brhaduktha brought his seed with glory,
and placed it here and in the realms beyond us.
