8.100.1THY bounty, Dasyave-vrka, exhaustless hath displayed itself: Its fulness is as broad as heaven.

8.100.2Ten thousand Dasyave-vrka, the son of Putakrata, hath From his own wealth bestowed on me.

8.100.3A hundred asses hath he given, a hundred head of fleecy sheep, A hundred slaves, and wreaths besides.

8.100.4There also was a mare led forth, picked out for Putakrata's sake, Not of the horses of the herd.

8.100.5Observant Agni hath appeared, oblation-bearer with his car. Agni with his resplendent flame hath shone on high as shines the Sun, hath shone like Surya in the heavens.
