Translator's Notes -
In this hymn the subjects like the protection of the people, conquering enemies, keeping friendship with righteous persons, not trusting the wicked, refraining from un-righteous conduct etc. have been told and so it has direct connection with the previous hymn. Here ends the commentary of the forty-first hymn of the first Mandala of the Rigveda.
