HYMN CVI
A charm to protect a house from fire
1Let flowery DÅ«rvÄ grass grow up about thine exit and
Ā Ā Ā approach.
Ā Ā There let a spring of water rise, or lake with blooming lotuses.
2This is the place where waters meet, here is the gathering of the
Ā Ā Ā flood.
Ā Ā Our home is set amid the lake: turn thou thy jaws away from
Ā Ā Ā it.
3O House, we compass thee about with coolness to envelop thee.
Ā Ā Cool as a lake be thou to us. Let Agni bring us healing balm!
