A charm to accompany the shaving of the beard
GriffithEnglish
Savitar hath come hither with the razor: come thou, O Vāyu, with the heated water. One-minded let Ādityas, Rudras, Vasus moisten the hair: shave ye who know King Soma.
Let Aditi shave the beard, and let the Waters bathe it with their strength: Prajāpati restore his health for sight and days of lengthened life!
The razor used by Savitar, for shaving, who knoweth Varuna and royal Soma, Even with this shave ye this man, O Brāhman. Let him be rich in horses, kine, and children.
