Jeremiah 32:43

He alone who, without ceasing, practises the duty of sitting alone and sleeping alone, he, subduing himself, will rejoice in the destruction of all desires alone, as if living in a forest.

Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask for help.

"'"The Sadhyas said, 'Who alone among the Brahmanas is always happy? Who alone amongst them can observe the vow of silence though dwelling in the midst of many? Who alone amongst them, though weak, is still regarded as strong? And who alone amongst them does not quarrel?'

The Supplement to the Soma Sacrifice (continued). a O Agni, brilliant, be thou brilliant among the gods; make me brilliant, of long radiant among men; for the brilliance of consecration and of penance do I offer to b Thou dost win brilliance; may brilliance forsake me not, may I forsake not brilliance, may brilliance forsake me not. c O Indra, full of force, be thou full of force among the gods, make me full of long life, radiant among men; for the force of the Brahmanhood and royalty [1] do I offer to thee. d Thou dost win force; may force forsake me not, may I forsake not force, may force forsake me not. e O sun, blazing, be thou blazing among the gods; make me blazing, of long life, radiant among men; for the blazing of the wind and of the waters do I offer to thee. f Thou dost win the light; may the light forsake me not, may I not forsake the light, may the light forsake me not. g On me wisdom, on me offspring, on me brilliance may Agni bestow; on me wisdom, on me offspring, on me power may Indra bestow; on me wisdom, on me offspring, on me blazing may Surya bestow. a The maker of the sound 'Him' is Vayu, the Prastotr is Agni, the Saman is Prajapati, the Udgatr is Brhaspati, the subordinate singers are the All-gods, the Pratihartrs are the Maruts, the finale is Indra; may these gods who support breath bestow breath upon me. b All this the Adhvaryu, as he begins, begins for the Udgatrs; 'May these gods who support breath bestow breath upon me', he says; verily he bestows all this on c May Ida who summoneth the gods, Manu who leadeth the sacrifice, d May Brhaspati recite the hymns and acclamations. e The All-gods [1] are reciters of the hymns. f O earth mother, do not harm me. g Of honey shall I think, honey shall I produce, honey shall I proclaim, honey shall I speak, may I utter speech full of honey for the gods, and acceptable to men. h May the gods aid me to radiance, may the Pitrs rejoice in me.
