HYMN CXXVI. Bhavayavya.
1. WITH wisdom I present these lively praises of Bhavya dweller on the bank of
Sindhu;
For he, unconquered King, desiring glory, hath furnished me a thousand
sacrifices.
2 A hundred necklets from the King, beseeching, a hundred gift-steeds I at once
accepted;
Of the lord's cows a thousand, I Kaksivan. His deathless glory hath he spread to
heaven.
3 Horses of dusky colour stood beside me, ten chariots, Svanaya's gift, with
mares to draw them.
Kine numbering sixty thousand followed after. Kaksivan gained them when the days
were closing.
4 Forty bay horses of the ten cars' master before a thousand lead the long
procession.
Reeling in joy Kaksivan's sons and Pajra's have grounded the coursers decked
with pearly trappings.
5 An earlier gift for you have I accepted eight cows, good milkers, and tree
harnessed horses,
Pajras, who with your wains with your great kinsman, like troops of subjects,
have been fain for glory.
