HYMN LXXXVI

A glorification of a newly consecrated King

1This is the Lord of Indra, this the Lord of Heaven, the Lord of
  Earth,
  The Lord of all existing things: the one and only Lord be thou,
2The Sea is regent of the floods, Agni is ruler of the land,
  The Moon is regent of the stars: the one and only Lord be
   thou.
3Thou art the King of Asuras, the crown and summit of man-
   kind:
  Thou art the partner of the Gods: the one and only Lord be
   thou.
