So hymn I thee with praises due.

The Vedas, with their kindred lore,

Brahmá their soul-born Lord adore,

With all the doctrines of the wise,

And bid him, as I bid thee, rise.

As, with the moon, the Lord of Day

Wakes with the splendour of his ray

Prolific Earth, who neath him lies,

So, mighty King, I bid thee rise.

With blissful words, O Lord of men,
