m Abode and collector of riches, Every form she discerneth with might [4], Like the god Savitr of true laws, Like Indra, she standeth at the meeting of the ways. n Make firm the straps, Fasten the buckets; We shall drain the well full of water, That never is exhausted, never faileth. o The well with buckets fastened, With strong straps, that yieldeth abundantly, Full of water, unexhausted, I drain. p The sages yoke the ploughs; They stretch apart the yokes, Wise with goodwill among the gods. q Yoke the ploughs, stretch apart the yokes, Here sow in the womb made ready the seed [5] Through our song be there audience with profit for us; May the ripe (grain) be brought low by the sickle. r The plough, of keen share, Propitious, with well-polished handle, Plougheth up a cow, a sheep, And a fat blooming maid, A chariot support with a platform. s With prosperity may our ploughs cleave the ground, With prosperity may the ploughers go round the yokes; Prosperity (may) Parjanya (give) with honey and milk, And do ye, O Çuna and Sira, accord prosperity to us. t Wishes, O milker of wishes, do thou milk To Mitra and Varuna; To Indra, to Agni, to Pusan, To the plants, and to offspring. u The furrow anointed with ghee, with honey, Approved by the All-gods, the Maruts, Full of strength, swelling with milk, Do thou, O furrow, turn towards us with milk. a The plants born Three generations before the gods, Of the brown ones I celebrate The seven and a hundred abodes. b A hundred, O mother, are your abodes, A thousand too your shoots, Therefore do ye, with a hundred powers, Make him whole for me. c With flowers, with shoots, Fruit-bearing and without fruit, Like steeds victorious The plants are strong to help. d 'Plants', O ye mothers, I hail you, O goddesses; Go bearing away defilement, Defilement [1] destroying. e In the Açvattha is your seat, In the Parna is your dwelling made; Cows shall in truth be your share If ye shall gain this man.
