\nTHE FOURTH HYMN TO MITRA-VARUNA <\/font>
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nV.65 <\/font><\/b> <\/p>\n

\nTHE LORDS OF THE JOURNEY<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/b> <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

\n[The Rishi invokes the two great increasers of the truth in
\nour being to lead us in our journey to the plenitudes, to the
\nvastness of our true existence which they conquer for us out of the narrow
\nlimits of our present ignorant and imperfect mentality.]<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    \n\tHe who has awakened to the knowledge, becomes perfect
    \nin will; let him speak for us among the gods: Varuna of the
    \nvision and Mitra take delight in his words.<\/font>
    \n\t<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      \n\tThey are the Kings most glorious in light and most far in
      \ntheir hearing;<\/font>\u00b9<\/font> they are the masters of being in creature
      \nand creature and the increasers of the Truth in us, for the
      \nTruth is theirs.<\/font> <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        \n\tTravelling on the path I call to them, the twain together,
        \nthe ancient and first; with perfect steeds<\/font>\u00b2<\/font> as we travel we
        \ncall to them, the perfect in knowledge, for the giving of the
        \nplenitudes.<\/font> <\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n\u00b9<\/font>They have the divine sight and the divine hearing, the Light and the Word. <\/font><\/p>\n

        \n\u00b2<\/font>As usual, the symbol of the dynamic energies, life-powers, etc., by which our will and
        \nworks and aspiration proceed. <\/font><\/p>\n

        \n <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          \n\tEven out of our narrow existence Mitra conquers for us the
          \nvastness, he conquers the path to our home; for the perfect
          \nmind<\/font>\u00b9<\/font> is of Mitra
          \n\twhen he harmonises all and hastens forward through to the goal.<\/font>
          \n\t<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \n <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            \n\tMay we abide in the increasing of Mitra which gives us our
            \nperfect breadth; then are we free from hurt and sin, fostered
            \nby thee, children of the Lord of Wideness.<\/font>
            \n\t<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \n <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              \n\tYou twain, O Mitra, set this human creature travelling on
              \nyour path and wholly you lead him. Set not your hedge
              \naround our lords of plenitude and our seers of the truth.
              \nGuard us in our drinking of the light.<\/font>\u00b2
              \n\t<\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \n\u00b9<\/font>Amhoḥ,<\/font><\/i> the narrowness full of suffering and evil, is the unenlightened state of our limited
              \nmentality; the perfect mentality, sumati,<\/i> given by the grace of Mitra admits us to the wideness. <\/font><\/p>\n

              \n\u00b2<\/font>Go,<\/i> the Light or the Cow, meaning here the "milk" or yield of the Mother of Light. <\/font><\/p>\n
