### [c4.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.keay-1918.c4.12)

‘All friends are joyful in the friend who cometh in triumph, having conquered in assembly.  
He is their blame averter, food provider; prepared is he and fit for deed of vigour.  
One plies his constant task reciting verses; one sings the holy psalm in Sakvari measures.  
One more, the Brāhman, tells the lore of being, and one lays down the rules of sacrificing.’
