These Vedas are so easy to like. Really now who among us has not prayed a prayer close to if not this?
A prayer for influence at deliberative and religious meetings
1 In concord may Prajapati’s two daughters, Gathering and As-
sembly, both protect me.
May every man I meet respect and aid me. Fair be my words,
O Fathers, at the meetings.
2 We know thy name, O Conference: thy name is interchange of
talk.
Let all the company who join the Conference agree with me.
3 Of these men seated here I make the splendour and the lore
mine own.
Indra, make me conspicuous in all this gathered company.
4 Whether your thoughts are turned away, or bound and fastened
here or there,
We draw them hitherward again: let your mind firmly rest on me
