Have mercy upon us, King Soma, and save us! Do not forget that we are your disciples. We are eager, O Drop, with zeal and dexterity! Do not hand us over to our enemy’s pleasure!<\/p>\n
Rig Veda VIII, 48, 8<\/p>\n
It is you, O Soma, who guard our bodies; in each of our limbs you have made your abode, O surveyor of men! if we have transgressed your statutes, forgive us, O God, like a loving friend.<\/p>\n
Rig Veda VIII, 48, 9<\/p>\n
Which are the Vasus? asked Sakalya. Fire, the earth, the air, the sky, the sun, heaven, the moon and the stars-these are the Vasus; for in them all this universe is placed (vasavah). Therefore they are called Vasus.<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III, IX-Yajnavalkya and Vidaghdha, 3<\/p>\n
Which are the Rudras? asked Sakalya. The ten organs in the human body, with the mind as the eleventh. When they depart from this mortal body, they make one’s relatives weep. Because they make them weep (rud), therefore they are called Rudras.<\/p>\n
Yajur Veda, Brihadaranyaka Upanishad III, IX-Yajnavalkya and Vidaghdha, 4<\/p>\n
Here be your life–its full span–your breath and your mind! We save you from the bonds of Perdition by means of the divine Word.<\/p>\n
