1. MY thought with fine discernment hath
discovered the Cow who wanders free without a herdsman,
Her who hath straightway poured me food in plenty: Indra and
Agni therefore are her praisers.
2 Indra and Pusan, deft of hand and mighty,
well-pleased have drained the heaven's exhaustless udder.
As in this praise the Gods have all delighted, may I win
blessing here from you, O Vasus.
3 Fain to lend vigour to the Bull, the
siste.. with reverence recognize the germ within him.
The Cows come lowing hither to the Youngling, to him endued
with great and wondrous beauties.
4 Fixing with thought, at sacrifice, the
press-stones, I bid the well-formed Heaven and Earth come hither;
For these thy flames, which give men boons in plenty, rise
up on high, the beautiful, the holy.
5 Agni, thy meath-sweet tongue that tastes
fair viands, which among Gods is called the far-extended, -
Therewith make all the Holy Odes be seated here for our
help, and feed them with sweet juices.
6 Let thy stream give us drink, O God, O
Agni, wonderful and exhaustless like the rain-clouds.
Thus care for us, O Vasu Jatavedas, show us thy
loving-kindness, reaching all men.
