Vedic Verses for 12/16/08

Atharva Veda III, 15, 5

The wealth which I use for trading, seeking, O Gods, wealth to accrue to my wealth-- in this may Indra, Prajapati, Savitri, Soma, and Agni grant me renown!

Atharva Veda III, 15, 6

To you, O Lord, the Priest Beloved of all men, we bring our praise with reverence. Keep watch over our children and ourselves, we pray. Guard both our lives and our cattle.

Atharva Veda III, 15, 7

Thus, steadfast and firm as a horse, we shall offer you praises, Omniscient Lord, forever. Replete with food and with riches, being close to you always, may we never suffer reverses!

This is your appointed origin. From here once born, you shine. Knowing this, O Agni, arise and cause our wealth to increase!
