BarĀhĪn-e-a H madiyya — Part Four 310 through the vast expanse of heavens, keeping count of the days and nights, and viewing all creatures. O sun, rise high in the heavens with your soothing radiance and cure the sickness of my heart, and the paleness of my body. We approach the Sun-god, who is the chosen god from among all other gods, on witnessing the light beyond the darkness. O Moon-god, you do good to everyone by remaining busy all the time. You are powerful due to your strength and know all things. Due to your benevolence, you grant favours and enjoy a high status on your own account. O guide of men, you have received abundant nourishment from sacrificial offerings. Your actions are similar to those of Rajah Varuna. O moon, your word is great. You purify all, as does the god Mitra whom we love. You foster everyone, as does god Aryaman. You possess all the glories that are manifested by you in heaven, on earth, in the mountains, and in the waters. O moon rajah, be kind to us, and accept our offerings without any displeasure. O moon, you love to be adored and are the guru of the plants. You are our life. If you so desire, we shall not perish. O moon, you bestow wealth on those who worship you, whether they are young or old, so that they may enjoy it and so that they may live. O moon, the rajah, safeguard us against everyone who seeks to do us harm. A friend of such a god as you cannot die. O Moon-god, help us with such support that brings joy to those who make offerings. Grace our offerings and our homage with acceptance. O Moon-god, come to us and make our rituals flourish. Since we know the mantras, we raise your status with our adornments. Come here, O benevo- lent moon. O Moon-god, who grants abundant wealth and is aware of our lost property, augmenter of food, be our worthy friend. O Moon-god, live happily in our hearts, as the cattle are happy in green pastures, or as men are happy in their homes.
