Rig Veda

Book 10, Hymn CLXXV. Press-stones

1. MAY Savitar the God, O Stones, stir you according to the Law:
Be harnessed to the shafts, and press.

2 Stones, drive calamity away, drive ye away malevolence:
Make ye the Cows our medicine.

3 Of one accord the upper Stones, giving the Bull his bull-like strength,
Look down with pride on those below.

4 May Savitar the God, O Stones, stir you as Law commands for him
Who sacrifices, pouring juice.
