Book 6: Hymn 96: A prayer for deliverance from sin and sorrow

HYMN XCVI

A prayer for deliverance from sin and sorrow

1The many plants of hundred shapes and forms that Soma rules
as King, p. a245
Commanded by Brihaspati, deliver us from grief and woe!
2Let them release me from the curse and from the noose of
Varupa,
Free me from Yama's fetter, and from every sin against the
Gods!
3From every fault in look, in word, in spirit that we, awake or
sleeping, have committed,
May Soma, with his godlike nature, cleanse us.
