Rig Veda 10.186: FILLING our hearts with health and joy, may Vata breathe his balm on us
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896) · From The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896)
FILLING our hearts with health and joy, may Vata breathe his balm on us
May he prolong our days of life.
Thou art our Father, Vata, yea, thou art a Brother and a friend,
So give us strength that we may live.
The store of Amrta laid away yonder, O Vata, in thine home,-
Give us thereof that we may live.
