HYMN CXII

A prayer for protection and freedom from sin

1Radiant with light are Heaven and Earth, whose grace is nigh,
   whose sway is vast.
  Seven Goddesses have flowed to us: may they deliver us from
   woe;
2Release me from the curse's bond and plague that comes from
  Varuna;
  Free me from Yama's fetter and from every sin against the
  Gods.
