759 28. Of excellent omen is this bride; come together, see her; having given unto her good-fortune, go asunder and away with ill-fortunes.

29. What evil-hearted young women, and likewise what old ones, [are] here—do ye all ⌊sám⌋ now give splendor to her; then go asunder and away home.

30. The gold-cushioned (? prastaraṇa) vehicle, bearing all forms, did Sūryā, Savitar's daughter, mount, in order to great good-fortune.

31. Mount the couch with favoring mind; here give birth to progeny for this husband; like Indrāṇī, waking with good awakening, mayest thou watch to meet dawns tipped with light.

32. The gods in the beginning lay with (ni-pad) their spouses; they embraced (sam-spṛç) bodies with bodies; like Sūryā, O woman, all-formed, with greatness, having progeny, unite (sam-bhū) here with thy husband.

33. Stand up from here, O Viçvāvasu; with homage do we praise thee; seek thou a sister (jāmí) sitting among the Fathers, inserted (? nyàktām); that is thy portion by right of birth; know thou that.
