Mandala 10 – Hymn 186 [Rig Veda]

1. FILLING our hearts with health and joy, may Vata breathe his balm on us May he prolong our days of life. 2. Thou art our Father, Vata, yea, thou art a Brother and a friend, So give us strength that we may live. 3. The store of Amrta laid away yonder, O Vata, in thine home,- Give us thereof that we may live.
