THE YAJUR VEDA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Sarasvati, by Visnu, by the gods,
By the Yajya and the Anuvakya, I summon for thee, O offering.
I take for thee the sacrifice with the Vasat cry.
g The chant, the Çastra, the response,
The libation, the Ida, the prayers, I win, the light.
I summon for thee the sacrifices of the wives, O offering,
I take thy I offering and sacrificial utterance.
h Cattle, the pressed (Soma), the sacrificial cakes,
The pressings, the sacrifice,
The gods with Indra, I summon for thee, O offering,
Lead by Agni, with Soma, and them all.

By fire he surmounted fervour, by speech holy power, by a gem forms, by Indra the gods, by the
wind the breaths, by the sun the sky, by the moon the Naksatras, by Yama the Pitrs, by the king men,
by fruit the flavours, by the boa constrictor serpents, by the tiger wild beasts, by the eagle birds, by
the stallion horses, by the bull kine, by the he-goat goats, by the ram sheep, by rice food, by barley
plants, by the banyan trees, by the Udumbara strength, by the Gayatri the metres, by the Trivrt the
Stomas, by the Brahmana speech.
