The opening
i. 1. 1.
The New and Full Moon Sacrifices
For food thee, for strength thee! Ye are winds, ye are approachers. Let the god Savitr impel you to the most excellent offering.
O invincible ones, swell with the share for the gods, Full of strength, of milk, rich in offspring, free from sickness, from disease.
Let no thief, no evil worker, have control over you. Let Rudra’s dart avoid you. Abide ye, numerous, with this lord of cattle. Do thou protect the cattle of the sacrificer.
The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
