c35.6

"Gladly you come among us; remain firmly without faltering; all the people want you; may you not fall off the State.
"Here be you firm like the mountain and may you not come down. Be you firm here like Indra; remain you here and hold the State.
"Indra has held it (the State) firm on account of the firm Havi offering; for it Soma as well as the Brahmaṇaspati has said the same.
"Firm (as) the heaven, firm (as) the earth, firm (as) the universe, firm (as) the mountains, let this *rājā* of the people be firm.
"Let the State be held by you, be made firm by the *rājā* Varuṇa, the God Bṛihaspati, Indra and also Agni.
"Vanquish you firmly, without falling, the enemies, and those behaving like enemies crush you under your feet. All the quarters unanimously honour you, and for firmness the assembly here creates (appoints) you".
