Rig Veda

Mandal - 8 (Part - 8)

HYMN 28 Visvedevas

1

THE Thirty Gods and Three besides, whose seat hath been the sacred grass,
From time of old have found and gained.

2

Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, Agnis, with Consorts, sending boons,
To whom our Vasat! is addressed:

3

These are our guardians in the west, and northward here, and in the south,
And on the cast, with all the tribe.

4

Even as the Gods desire so verily shall it be. None minisheth this power of theirs,
No demon, and no mortal

5

The Seven carry seven spears; seven are the splendours they possess,
And seven the glories they assume.
