HYMN XVII

A prayer for wealth and children

1May the Ordainer give us wealth, Lord, ruler of the world of
life: with full hand may he give to us.
2May Dhātar grant the worshipper henceforth imperishable life.
May we obtain the favour of the God who giveth every boon.
3To him may Dhātar grant all kinds of blessings who, craving
children, serves him in his dwelling.
Him may the Gods invest with life eternal, yea, all the Gods and
Aditi accordant.
4May this our gift please Savitar, Rāti, Dhātar, Prajāpati, and
Agni Lord of Treasures.
May Tvashtar, Vishnu, blessing him with children, give store ot
riches to the sacrificer.
