Atharva Veda 19.11
A continuation of Hymn 10
GriffithEnglish
May the great Lords of Truth protect and aid us: blest to us be our horses and our cattle. Kind be the pious, skilful-handed Ribhus, kind be the Fathers at our invocations
Kind to us be the Gods and Visve Devas, Sarasvati with Holy Thoughts be gracious. Friendly be they, the Liberal Ones, who seek us, yea, those who dwell in-heaven, on earth, in waters.
May Aja-Ekapād the God be gracious, gracious the Dragon of the Deep, and Ocean. Gracious be he, the swelling Child of Waters, gracious be Prisni who hath Gods to guard her.
So may the Rudras, Vasus, and Ādityas accept the new hymn we now are making. May all the Holy Ones of earth and heaven, and the Cow's off- spring hear our invocation.
Priests of the Gods, worthy of sacrifices, immortal, knowing Law, whom man must worship. May these to-day give us broad paths to travel. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
