1Let the healing wind blow upon our cows, Let them feed on strengthening herbs; Let them drink waters full of life and fatness; Rudra, be gracious to the food that hath feet.

2Those which are of one, of various hues, or of like hue Those whose names Agni knoweth by sacrifice; Those which the Angirases made here by devotion, To those, O Parjanya, grant abundant protection.

3Those who offered to the gods their bodies; Those whose every form Soma knoweth; O Indra [1], place them in our pastures, Swelling with milk and rich in offspring.

4Prajapati, bestowing these on me, In harmony with all the gods and Pitrs, Hath brought them, auspicious, to our pastures. May we possess their offspring.

5Here is support, hail!

6Here is keeping apart, hail!

7Here is joy, hail!

8Here is delight, hail!'

9The great.

10The protecting.
