HYMN XLVIII. Vayu.

1. TASTE offerings never tasted yet, as bards enjoy the foeman's wealth.

O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.

2 Removing curses, drawn by teams, with 1ndra, seated by thy side,

O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.

3 The two dark treasuries of wealth that wear

all beauties wait on thee.

O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.

4 May nine-and-ninety harnessed steeds who yoke them at thy will bring thee.

O Vayu, on refulgent car come to the drinking of the juice.

5 Harness, O Vayu, to thy car a hundred well-fed tawny steeds,

Yea, or a thousand steeds, and let thy chariot come to us with might.
