HYMN CXII

A prayer for protection and freedom from sin

1Radiant with light are Heaven and Earth, whose grace is nigh,
  whose sway is vast.
 Seven Goddesses have flowed to us: may they deliver us from
  woe;
2Release me from the curse's bond and plague that comes from
 Varuna;
 Free me from Yama's fetter and from every sin against the
 Gods.
