1 MAY the wind blow upon our Cows with healing: may they eat herbage full of vigorous juices. May they drink waters rich in life and fatness: to food that moves on feet be gracious, Rudra.

2 Like-coloured, various-hued, or single-coloured, whose names through sacrifice are known to Agni, Whom the Aṅgirases produced by Fervour, —vouchsafe to these, Parjanya, great protection.

3 Those who have offered to the Gods their bodies, whose varied forms are all well known to Soma, —Those grant us in our cattle-pen, O Indra, with their full streams of milk and plenteous offspring. 
prajā́patir máhyam etā́ rárāṇo víśvair devaíḥ pitŕ̥bhiḥ saṃvidānáḥ |
śivā́ḥ satī́r úpa no goṣṭhám ā́kas tā́sāṃ vayám prajáyā sáṃ sadema || 
4 Prajāpati, bestowing these upon me, one-minded with all Gods and with the Fathers, Hath to our cow-pen brought auspicious cattle: so may we own the offspring they will bear us.
