pavasva vṛṣṭim ā su no 'pām ūrmiṃ divas pari ayakṣmā bṛhatīr iṣaḥ
Pour down the rain upon us, pour a wave of waters from the sky, And plenteous store of wholesome food.
Rig Veda
pavasva vṛṣṭim ā su no 'pām ūrmiṃ divas pari ayakṣmā bṛhatīr iṣaḥ
Pour down the rain upon us, pour a wave of waters from the sky, And plenteous store of wholesome food.
tayā pavasva dhārayā yayā gāva ihāgaman janyāsa upa no gṛham
Flow onward with that stream of thine, whereby the cows have come to us, The kine of strangers to our home.
ghṛtam pavasva dhārayā yajñeṣu devavītamaḥ asmabhyaṃ vṛṣṭim ā pava
Chief Friend of Gods in sacred rites, pour on us fatness with thy stream, Pour down on us a flood of rain.
sa na ūrje vy avyayam pavitraṃ dhāva dhārayā devāsaḥ śṛṇavan hi kam
To give us vigour, with thy stream run through the fleecy straining-cloth For verily the Gods will bear.
pavamāno asiṣyadad rakṣāṃsy apajaṅghanat pratnavad rocayan rucaḥ
Onward hath Pavamana flowed and beaten off the Rakshasas, Flashing out splendour as of old.
