Rig Veda
tisro vācaḥ pra vada jyotiragrā yā etad duhre madhudogham ūdhaḥ sa vatsaṃ kṛṇvan garbham oṣadhīnāṃ sadyo jāto vṛṣabho roravīti
Speak forth three words, the words which light precedeth, which milk this udder that produceth nectar. Quickly made manifest, the Bull hath bellowed, engendering the germ of plants, the Infant.
yo vardhana oṣadhīnāṃ yo apāṃ yo viśvasya jagato deva īśe sa tridhātu śaraṇaṃ śarma yaṃsat trivartu jyotiḥ svabhiṣṭy asme
Giver of growth to plants, the God who ruleth over the waters and all moving creatures, Vouchsafe us triple shelter for our refuge, and threefold light to succour and befriend us.
starīr u tvad bhavati sūta u tvad yathāvaśaṃ tanvaṃ cakra eṣaḥ pituḥ payaḥ prati gṛbhṇāti mātā tena pitā vardhate tena putraḥ
Now he is sterile, now begetteth offspring, even as he willeth doth he change his figure. The Father's genial flow bedews the Mother; therewith the Sire, therewith the son is nourished.
yasmin viśvāni bhuvanāni tasthus tisro dyāvas tredhā sasrur āpaḥ trayaḥ kośāsa upasecanāso madhva ścotanty abhito virapśam
In him all living creatures have their being, and the three heavens with triply flowing waters. Three reservoirs that sprinkle down their treasure shed their sweet streams around him with a murmur.
idaṃ vacaḥ parjanyāya svarāje hṛdo astv antaraṃ taj jujoṣat mayobhuvo vṛṣṭayaḥ santv asme supippalā oṣadhīr devagopāḥ
May this my song to Sovran Lord Parjanya come near unto his heart and give him pleasure. May we obtain the showers that bring enjoyment, and God-protected plants with goodly fruitage.
sa retodhā vṛṣabhaḥ śaśvatīnāṃ tasminn ātmā jagatas tasthuṣaś ca tan ma ṛtam pātu śataśāradāya yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
He is the Bull of all, and their impregner lie holds the life of all things fixed and moving. May this rite save me till my hundredth autumn. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
