VATSA KANWA
sukta
11
1. O Fire, thou art the guardian of the
law of all workings, thou art the divine in mortals; thou art one to be
prayed in the sacrifices.
2. O forceful one, it is thou who art to
be expressed in the findings of knowledge; O Fire, thou art the charioteer
of the pilgrim-sacrifices.
3. So do thou remove away from us the
enemies, O knower of all things born, even the undivine and hostile forces,
O Fire.
4. Even when it is near, O surely thou
comest not to the sacrifice of our mortal foe, O knower of all things born.
5. Mortals illumined we meditate on the
many names of thee

the immortal, the knower of all things
born.
6. We call the Fire with our words,
illumined we call the illumined for our guard, mortals we call the god for our
protection.
7. Vatsa compels thy mind even from the
supreme world of thy session, O Fire, by his Word that longs for thee.
8. Thou art the equal lord of all peoples
in many lands; we call to thee in the battles.
9. We call to the Fire to guard us in our
battles, we who seek the plenitudes; in the plenitudes richly manifold is his
achievement.
10. For thou art of old one to be prayed
in the pilgrim-sacrifices, and from time eternal thou sittest as the ever-new
Priest of the call; O Fire, gladden thy own body and bring happiness to us by
the sacrifice.
