Hymns: Our fathers and mothers, broke open the firm and strong places by their words, yea, the Angirases broken open the hill by their cry; they made in us the path to the great heaven; they found the Day, Swar, vision and the luminous Cows... They who entered into all things that bear right truth formed a path towards the immortality; earth stood wide for them by the greatness and by the Great Ones, the mother Aditi with her sons came, manifested themselves, for the upholding... They held the truth, they enriched its thought; then indeed, aspiring souls, they holding it in thought, bore it diffused in all their being... The doers of the work go towards the un-thirsting waters, which increase the divine births by the satisfaction of delight... It is the manifestation of that trinity of divine being, light and bliss which the Vedantins afterwards called Satchidananda (guru), the place of ultimate bliss... When Indra becomes the one God, encompassing all these godheads with the greatness of his being. Then indeed all accept and cleave to the Will, or the work, when O godhead, thou art born a living soul from the dryness, i.e. from the material being, the desert, watered by the streams of the Truth; all enjoy godhead attaining to the truth and the immortality by their movements. The impulse of the truth, the thinking of truth becomes a universal life, and in all fulfill their workings. The fostering cows of the truth, an image applied to the rivers, while expressing the luminous cows of the sun, nourished them, lowing, with happy udders, enjoyed in heaven; obtaining right thinking as a boon from the supreme plane, the rivers flowed wide and evenly over the hill. The seven mighty ones of heaven, placing aright the thought, knowing the truth, discerned in knowledge the doors of felicity; thereby the human creature enjoys the bliss. He, O Indra, dwells in the gated homes of his being, accomplishing; he, a god, has come to the means of accomplishment of the mortal... May this Agni lead us in his knowledge towards that bliss of him which is enjoyed by the gods, that which by the thought all the immortals created and Dyauspita (Sivananda), the father out pouring the truth. He was born, the first, in the waters, in the foundation of the vast world of Swar, in its womb, the seat and birthplace, the original home, without head and feet, since he meditates on the chakras, not leaking the energy into lower worlds, or upper, moves between the seven heavens, concealing the two extremities, the mind and body, setting himself to his work in the lair of the Bull, the toughest place... He went forward by illumined knowledge as the first force, in the seat of the truth, in the lair of the Bull, desirable, young, full in body, shining wide; the seven Beloved bore him to the Lord, anahata nada, the sound of the soul, akasha or astral. Here our human fathers and mothers, seeking possession of the truth went forward to it; the bright cows in their covering prison, the good milkers whose pen is in the rock they drove upward to the truth, the Dawns answered their call. They rent the hill asunder and made them bright; others all around them declared wide this truth of theirs; drivers of the herds they sang the hymn to the doer of works, Agni, they found the light, they shone in their thoughts, accomplished work. They with the mind that seeks the light, the cows, rent the firm and compact hill that environed the luminous cows, the souls that desire opened by the divine word, the firm pen full of the kine... They conceived in mind the first name of the fostering cows, they found the thrice seven supreme seats of the Mother; the females of the herd know that and they followed after it; the ruddy one was manifested by the victorious attainment, the splendor, of the cow of light. Vanished the darkness, shaken in its foundation; Heaven shone out, implying the manifestation of the three luminous worlds of Swar, upward rose the light of the divine Dawn; the Sun entered the vast fields of the truth, beholding the straight things and the crooked in mortals. Thereafter indeed they awoke and saw utterly by the sun's separation of the straight from the crooked, the truth from the falsehood; then indeed they help in them the bliss that is enjoyed in heaven. Let all the gods be in all our homes, let there be the truth for our thought, O Mitra, O Varuna. May I speak the word towards Agni, shining pure, the priest of the offering greatest in sacrifice who brings to us the all; may he press out both the pure udders of the Cows of Light and the purified food of the plant of delight (vegan), the Soma, poured out everywhere (elixir). He is the infinite being of all the lords of sacrifice, the gods, and the guest of all human beings; may Agni, accepting into himself the increasing manifestation of the gods, knower of the births, be a giver of happiness... May he, O Indra, the knower discern perfectly the knowledge and the ignorance, the wide levels and the crooked that shut in mortals; and, O God, for a bliss fruitful in offspring, lavish on us Diti (protect from division) and protect Aditi (Amma), the mother. The seers unconquered declared the Seer, Agni and Indra, holding him within in the homes of the human being; thence, from the human being, may thou, O Agni, aspiring by the work, behold by thy advancing movements these of whom thou must have the vision, the transcendent ones, the godheads Deva, the gurus and the mothers... Thou, O Agni, younger power, art the perfect guide on that journey to him who sings the word and offers the Soma and orders the Sacrifice; bring to the illumined who accomplishes the work, the bliss with its vast delight for his increasing, satisfying the doer of the work, or the man. Now, O Agni, of all that we have done with our hands and feet, our bodies, the right thinkers, Angirases and gurus, make as it were thy chariot by the work of the two arms, Heaven and Earth; seeking to possess the truth they have worked their way to it, and won the control... Now as the seven seers of Dawn the Mother, the supreme disposers of the sacrifice, may we beget for ourselves the gods; may we become the Angirases, sons of Heaven, breaking open the wealth filled hill (Mount Shasta), shining in purity. Now also, even as our supreme ancient fathers and mothers, O Agni, seeking to possess the truth, expressing the word, traveled to the purity and the light; breaking open the earth, the material being, they uncovered the ruddy ones, the dawns and the cows; perfected in works and in light, seeking the godheads, gods, forging the births like iron, making Agni a pure flame, increasing Indra, they attained and reached the wideness of the Light. As if herds of the cow in the field of riches, that was manifested to vision which is the birth of the Gods within, O Puissant One; they both accomplished the wide enjoyments, or longings of mortals and worked as aspirers for the increase of the higher being... We have done the word for thee, we have become perfect in words, the wide shining Dawns have taken up their home in the truth, in the fullness of Agni and his manifold delight, in the shining eye of the god in all his brightness. The truth consciousness who places aright the thought... The truth controlled by the truth I desire, the human by the divine, together the unripe things of the cow and her ripe, and golden consciousness yield, she, the cow, being black (kali) is nourished by the shining water of the foundation, the water of the companion streams. By the truth, Agni the bull (native American totem) and Indra (multi incarnation in One), the male, sprinkled with the water of its levels ranges uncovering, establishing wideness; the dappled Bull milks the pure shining teat. By the truths of the Angirases broke open and hurled asunder the hill and came to union with the cows; human souls, they took up their dwelling in the blissful Dawn, Swar became manifest when Agni was born. By truth, the divine immortal waters (Mount Shasta river, Sacramento river), un-oppressed with their golden consciousness floods, O Agni, like a horse breasting forward in its galloping, ran in an eternal flowing. All these are secret words that I have uttered to thee, who knows, O Agni, O Disposer, words of leading, words of seer knowledge that express their meaning to the seer. I have spoken them illumined in my words and my thinkings.
