HYMN 100 Praskanva's God

1

THY bounty, Dasyave-vrka, exhaustless hath displayed itself:
Its fulness is as broad as heaven.

2

Ten thousand Dasyave-vrka, the son of Putakrata, hath
From his own wealth bestowed on me.

3

A hundred asses hath he given, a hundred head of fleecy sheep,
A hundred slaves, and wreaths besides.

4

There also was a mare led forth, picked out for Putakrata's sake,
Not of the horses of the herd.

5

Observant Agni hath appeared, oblation-bearer with his car.
Agni with his resplendent flame hath shone on high as shines the Sun, hath shone like Surya in theheavens.
