HYMN CXXIX

A charm for success and happiness

1With fortune of the Sisu tree—with Indra as my friend to aid
  I give myself a happy fate. Fly and begone, Malignities!
2That splendour and felicity wherewith thou hast excelled the
   trees
  Give me therewith a happy fate. Fly and begone, Malignities
3Blind fortune, with reverted leaves that is deposited in trees—
  Give me therewith a happy fate. Fly and begone, Malignities.
