Item description from seller

Language: English. About The Book: The book explores ancient hymns from sacred texts, delving into verses that invoke divine protection and blessings. It examines the rituals and prayers of worship, addressing various deities such as Soma and Maruts, seeking defense against malevolent forces. The verses earnestly request Mitra and Varuna to thwart harm, highlighting their divine authority over adversaries. Varuna is specifically invoked for safeguarding against deadly weapons, stressing the need for protection and distance from danger. Furthermore, the hymns extol Indra, Pushan, Varuna, Mitra, and Agni, invoking their assistance and guidance for the well-being of humanity. Through eloquent poetry, the text portrays a deep reverence and dependence on divine intervention in ancient religious practices.
