Rig Veda
mayobhūr vāto abhi vātūsrā ūrjasvatīr oṣadhīr ā riśantām pīvasvatīr jīvadhanyāḥ pibantv avasāya padvate rudra mṛḍa
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.
yāḥ sarūpā virūpā ekarūpā yāsām agnir iṣṭyā nāmāni veda yā aṅgirasas tapaseha cakrus tābhyaḥ parjanya mahi śarma yaccha
Like-coloured, various-hued, or single-coloured, whose names through sacrifice are known to Agni, Whom the Angirases produced by Fervour, vouchsafe to these, Parjanya, great protection.
yā deveṣu tanvam airayanta yāsāṃ somo viśvā rūpāṇi veda tā asmabhyam payasā pinvamānāḥ prajāvatīr indra goṣṭhe rirīhi
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.
prajāpatir mahyam etā rarāṇo viśvair devaiḥ pitṛbhiḥ saṃvidānaḥ śivāḥ satīr upa no goṣṭham ākas tāsāṃ vayam prajayā saṃ sadema
Prajapati, 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.
