18479The Hymns of the Rigveda, Book 8 — Hymn 100Ralph T.H. Griffith
1. THY bounty, Dasyave-vrka, exhaustless hath displayed itself:
     Its fulness is as broad as heaven.
2. Ten thousand Dasyave-vrka, the son of Putakrata, hath
     From his own wealth bestowed on me.
3. A hundred asses hath he given, a hundred head of fleecy sheep,
     A hundred slaves, and wreaths besides.
4. There also was a mare led forth, picked out for Putakrata's sake,
     Not of the horses of the herd.
5. Observant Agni hath appeared, oblation-bearer with his car.
     Agni with his resplendent flame hath shone on high as shines the Sun, hath shone like Surya in the heavens.
