HYMN XLI
A prayer for protection, long life, and various blessings
1For mind, for intellect, for thought, for purpose, for intelligence,.
Ā Ā For sense, for hearing, and for sight, let us adore with sacrifice.
2For expiration, vital air, and breath that amply nourishes,
Ā Ā Let us with sacrifice adore SarasvatÄ« whose reach is wide.
3Let not the Rishis, the divine, forsake us, our own, our very
Ā Ā Ā selves, our lives' protectors.
Ā Ā Do ye, immortal, still attend us mortals, and give us vital power
Ā Ā Ā to live the longer.
