Namaste. Ashok Chowgule May the splendor of an elephant, the greatest of all creatures, may that great glory, which was born from the Boundless, now be diffused. The Gods together have bestowed it upon me. Atharva Veda III, 22, 1 On this splendor have all the powers of heaven concentrated their thought. May those Gods who nourish all life on earth anoint me with splendor! Atharva Veda III, 22, 2 That splendor that resides in an elephant, in a king among men, or within the waters, with which the Gods in the beginning came to godhood, with that same splendor make me splendid, O Lord. Atharva Veda III, 22, 3 O All-Knowing God, that powerful strength with which sacrifice endows you, the strength of the sun, the strength of the elephant, King among men-- may the two Spirits, garlanded with lotus, vouchsafe that to me! Atharva Veda III, 22, 4 >From the four directions, as far as the eye can direct its gaze, may that force, that elephant splendor, assemble and concentrate its virtue in me. Atharva Veda III, 22, 5 --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
