HYMN LXXVIII

A charm for a prince's prosperity

1I free thee from the cord, I loose the bond, I loose the fastening.
 Even here, perpetual, Agni, wax thou strong. p. a305
2I with celestial prayer appoint thee, Agni, maintainer of this
  man in princely powers.
 Here brightly shine for us with wealth: declare thou to Gods
  this favoured giver of oblations.
