Summary

The Rig Veda — Mandala 2, Hymn 39 (1896)

“ Come like two hands most helpful to the body, and guide us like two feet to what is precious. 6. Even as two lips that with the mouth speak honey, even as two breasts that nourish our existence, Like the two nostrils that protect our being, be to us as our ears that hear distinctly. ”

The Rig Veda — Mandala 2, Hymn 39 (1896)

“ Moving at morning like two chr-borne heroes, like to a pair of goats ye come electing; Like two fair dames embellishing their bodies, like a wise married pair among the people. 3. Like to a pair of horns come first to usward, like to a pair of hoofs with rapid motion; Come like two Cakavas in the grey of morning, come like two chariot wheels at dawn, ye Mighty. 4. Bear us across the rivers like two vessels, save us as ye were yokes, naves, spokes and fellies. Be like two dogs that injure not our bodies; preserve us, like two crutches, that we fall not. ”
