Rig Veda
asya me dyāvāpṛthivī ṛtāyato bhūtam avitrī vacasaḥ siṣāsataḥ yayor āyuḥ prataraṃ te idam pura upastute vasūyur vām maho dadhe
Graciously further, O ye Heaven and Earth, this speech striving to win reward, of me your worshipper. First rank I give to you, Immortal, high extolled! I, fain to win me wealth, to you the migbty Pair.
mā no guhyā ripa āyor ahan dabhan mā na ābhyo rīradho ducchunābhyaḥ mā no vi yauḥ sakhyā viddhi tasya naḥ sumnāyatā manasā tat tvemahe
Let not man's guile annoy us, secret or by day: give not us up a prey to these calamities. Sever not thou our friendship: think thereon for us. This, with a heart that longs for bliss, we seek from thee.
aheḍatā manasā śruṣṭim ā vaha duhānāṃ dhenum pipyuṣīm asaścatam padyābhir āśuṃ vacasā ca vājinaṃ tvāṃ hinomi puruhūta viśvahā
Bring hither with benignant mind the willing Cow teeming with plenteous milk, full, inexhaustible. O thou invoked by many, day by day I urge thee with my word, a charger rapid in his tread.
rākām ahaṃ suhavāṃ suṣṭutī huve śṛṇotu naḥ subhagā bodhatu tmanā sīvyatv apaḥ sūcyācchidyamānayā dadātu vīraṃ śatadāyam ukthyam
With eulogy I call on Raka swift to hear may she, auspicious, hear us, and herself observe. With never-breaking needle may she sew her work, and give a hero son most wealthy, meet for praise.
yās te rāke sumatayaḥ supeśaso yābhir dadāsi dāśuṣe vasūni tābhir no adya sumanā upāgahi sahasrapoṣaṃ subhage rarāṇā
All thy kind thoughts, O Raka, lovely in their form, wherewith thou grantest wealth to him who offers gifts- With these come thou to us this day benevolent, O Blessed One, bestowing food of thousand sorts.
sinīvāli pṛthuṣṭuke yā devānām asi svasā juṣasva havyam āhutam prajāṃ devi didiḍḍhi naḥ
O broad-tressed Sinivali, thou who art the Sister of the Gods, Accept the offered sacrifice, and, Goddess, grant us progeny.
yā subāhuḥ svaṅguriḥ suṣūmā bahusūvarī tasyai viśpatnyai haviḥ sinīvālyai juhotana
With lovely fingers, lovely arms, prolific Mother of many sons- Present the sacred gifts to her, to Sinivali Queen of men.
yā guṅgūr yā sinīvālī yā rākā yā sarasvatī indrāṇīm ahva ūtaye varuṇānīṃ svastaye
Her, Sinivali, her, Gungu, her, Raka, her, Sarasvati, Indrani to mine aid I call, and Varunani for my weal.
