of rain; verily he has recourse to Prajapati with his own share; verily he makes Parjanya rain for him. It is black, that is the form of rain; verily by its form he wins rain. It is spotted; verily he produces the lightning and makes rain for him. It has low horns; verily he brings down the rain for him. [[2-1-9]] Food came not to Varuna when he had pressed. He beheld this black cow which is Varuna's; it he offered to its own deity; then food came to him. He to whom being fit for food food does not come should offer to Varuna this black cow; verily he has recourse to Varuna with his own form; verily he gives him food; he becomes an eater of food [1]. It is black, for it has Varuna as its deity; (verily it serves) for prosperity. He who desires food should offer a white (beast) to Mitra and a black to Varuna at the union of the waters and the plants; the plants are connected with Mitra, and the waters with Varuna; on the sap of the water and of the plants do we live; verily lie has recourse to Mitra and Varuna with their own share; verily they give him food; he becomes an eater of food [2]. He should offer at the union of the waters and of the plants, to attain both. The sacrificial post is bifurcate, for there are two deities; (verily it serves) for prosperity. He who is long ill should offer a white (beast) to Mitra, and a black to Varuna; in that one is offered to Mitra, by means of Mitra he appeases Varuna for him; in that one is offered to Varuna, straightway he sets him free from Varuna's noose; even if his life be gone, he yet lives. The gods could not find prosperity [3]; they saw it in the pair; they could not agree about it; the Açvins said, 'Ours is it; do not claim it.' It became the Açvins' only. He who desires prosperity should offer to the Açvins a twin cow; verily he has recourse to the Açvins with their own share; verily they bestow prosperity upon him; he prospers in offspring and cattle. [[2-i-10]] He who being a bad Brahman desires to drink Soma should offer to the Açvins a dusky (beast) with spots on the forehead; the Açvins were among the gods those who did not drink Soma; they later acquired the drinking of Sonia; the Açvins are the gods of the bad Brahman who desires to drink Soma; verily he has recourse to the Açvins with their own share; verily they give to him the drinking of Soma; the drinking of Soma comes to him. In that it is dusky, verily he drives away the darkness from him. In that it has spots on the forehead [1], verily at the beginning he bestows brilliance on him. He whom men calumniate though he has slain no one should offer a Gayal to Vayu; impure speech comes to him whom men calumniate though he has slain no one; the Gayal is neither a domestic nor a wild animal; he is neither in the village nor the forest whom men calumniate though he has slain no one; Vayu is the purifier of the gods; verily he has recourse to Vayu with his own share; verily he [2] purifies him. The dawn shines away from him and he enters the darkness, the evil, to whom when the litany to the Açvins is being recited the sun becomes not visible; he should offer to Surya (a beast) of many forms; verily he has resort to yonder sun with its own share; verily it drives away the darkness, the evil, from him, the dawn shines upon him, he strikes away the darkness, the evil. [[2-1-11]] a Indra on all sides. b On Indra men. c O Maruts, what time from the sky. d The protection which ye. e In contests we invoke Indra, swift to hear, The divine folk working good, freeing from distress, Agni, Mitra, Varuna, for gain, Bhaga, Sky and earth, the Maruts for welfare. f May the moving one who strikes at morning delight us; May Vata delight us, pourer of waters; Keith: Taittiriya-Samhita, Translation - Page 84 of 341
Indra and Parvata quicken us; May the All-gods vouchsafe us this. g I hail the dear names [1] of yon impetuous ones, That, O Maruts, calling they may rejoice. h For glory they are wreathed in flames, In the rays (of the sun), adorned with rings they (are accompanied) with singers; They wearing daggers, impetuous, fearless, Here found the dear home of the Maruts. i First let Agni with the Vasus aid us; Let Soma with the Rudras protect (us); Let Indra with the Maruts act in due course; Let Varuna with the Adityas quicken us.' k God Agni with the Vasus [2], Soma with the dread forms, Indra with the Maruts, worthy of sacrifice, Varuna with the Adityas hath been in harmony with us. l As the Adityas are united with the Vasus, The Rudras with the Maruts, So, O thou of three names, May the All-gods without anger be of one mind. m He in whose presence wheresoever Men rejoice in the dwellings of men, Whom in honour they kindle, Whom together they produce. n When we offer food, The oblations of men, He by the might of his glory [3], Graspeth the reins of sacred law. o The sacrifice seeketh the goodwill of the gods; Be kindly, O ye Adityas; Make your loving kindness turn (to us), Which shall more plenteously deliver us from distress. p Pure he dwelleth, undeceived, Among waters rich in grass, waxing old with noble sons; None slayeth him from near or from afar, Who is in the guidance of the Adityas. q Ye Adityas support the world, Gods, guardians of all the universe, Far-seeing, guarding [4] the holy, Righteous, enacting debts. r Three earths they support, and three skies; Three rules are in their ordinance; Through sacred law great is your mightiness, O Adityas; Sweet is that, O Aryaman, O Mitra, O Varuna. s Let us make supplication To those heroes, the Adityas, The tender, for help. t Nor right is visible, nor left; Nor the east, O Adityas, nor the west; Despite my feeble mind, O Vasus [5], Led by you, may I attain the light without fear. u With the most recent help of the Adityas, With their most present succour, may we be united; May the mighty ones, hearkening, establish this sacrifice Keith: Taittiriya-Samhita, Translation - Page 85 of 341
