c11.11

1. Among you, O gods, there is none that is small, none that is young: you all are great indeed.
2. Be thus praised, ye destroyers of foes, you who are thirty and three, you the sacred gods of Manu.
3. Defend us, help us, bless us! do not lead us far away from the path of our fathers, from the path of Manu!
4. You who are here, O gods, all of you, and worshipped by all men, give us your broad protection, give it to cow and horse.
