VEDIC HYMNS.
8. What should be openly uttered by me of this speech? They secretly speak of that which is hidden? When they have uncovered, as it were, the water of the cows?, he guards the beloved summit of the ...3, the footstep of the bird 4.
9. He has found in secret that great face of the great ones which the bright cow accompanied !, the ancient (face) shining in the abode of Rita, the quickly running, quickly moving.
10. And resplendent near his parents (Heaven and Earth), in their presence, he thought of the secret, good (name?) of Prisni. The tongue of the manly, forward-bent flame (seized) that which was near at hand in the highest abode of the mother, the cow ?
11. I speak, when being asked, Rita (i.e. truth), out of reverence (for Agni, or for the gods), out of hope placed in thee, O Gâtavedas, as I am here? Thou rulest over all this wealth whatever (dwells) in heaven and earth.
12. Which of this wealth is ours, what treasure ? Mayst thou who knowest it declare to us (that treasure), O Gâtavedas! What is the highest (aim) of this our way, is hidden. We have not come scolding to an empty (?)' place.
13? What is the limit, what the objects? What pleasant (wealth) may we obtain as swift (horses gain) the prize? When will the Dawns, the divine consorts of the immortal, expand over us with the sun's splendour ?
14. And what do those insatiable ones here say, O Agni, with their sapless, feeble, weak speech that has to be listened to ? Let them unarmed fall into nothingness.
