Atharva Veda 7.12
A prayer to Savitar for prosperity
GriffithEnglish
I praise this God, parent of heaven and earth, exceeding wiser possessed of real energy, giver of treasure, thinker dear to all,.
Whose splendour is sublime, whose light shone brilliant in creation, who, wise, and golden-handed, in his beauty made the sky.
As thou, God! quickening, for our ancient father, sentest him height above and room about him, So unto us, O Savitar, send treasures, abundant, day by day, in shape of cattle.
Savitar, God, our household friend, most precious, hath sent our fathers life and power and riches. Let him drink Soma and rejoice when worshipped. Under his law even the Wanderer travels.
