For some one's advancement and success
For some one's advancement and success
In this man let the Vasus maintain good things (vásu)—Indra, Pūshan, Varuṇa, Mitra, Agni; him let the Ādityas and also the All-gods maintain in superior light. 2.. At his direction (pradiç), O gods, be there light, sun, fire, or also gold; be his rivals (sapátna) inferior to him; to the highest firmament (nā́ka) make this man ascend.
With what highest worship (bráhman), O Jātavedas, thou didst bring together draughts (páyas) for Indra, therewith, O Agni, do thou increase this man here; set him in supremacy (çrāíṣṭhya) over his fellows (sajātá).
I take to myself their sacrifice and splendor (várcas), their abundance of wealth and their intents (cittá), O Agni; be his rivals inferior to him; to the highest firmament make this man ascend.
