A Hymn To The Full Moon
Night hath conquered in the battle.
In her: may we, dwelling with Gods and greatness, feast in the
height of heaven, on strengthening viands. p. a306
2. To him, the Full Moon's mighty Bull, we pay our solemn sacri-
fice.
May he bestow upon us wealth unwasting, inexhaustible.
3. No one but thou, Prajāpati, none beside thee, pervading, gave
to all these forms their being.
Grant us our hearts' desire when we invoke thee: may we have
store of riches in possession.
4. First was the Full Moon meet for adoration among the days and
in the nights' deep darkness.
Into thy heaven, O Holy One, have entered those pious men
who honour thee with worship.
