These cows\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0let Savitar drive within this stable.\n 2Let the beasts stream together to this cow-pen. Brihaspati who\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0knoweth lead them hither!\n \u00a0\u00a0Let Siniv\u0101li guide the foremost homeward. When they have\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0come, Anumati! enclose them.\n 3Together stream the cattle! stream together horses and the\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0men!\n \u00a0\u00a0Hitherward press all growth of grain! I offer sacrifice with mixt\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0oblation.\n 4I pour together milk of kine, with butter blending strength and\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0juice.\n \u00a0\u00a0Well sprinkled be our men, as true to me as cows are to their\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0herd! p. a53\n 5Hither I bring the milk of cows, hither have brought the juice\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0of corn.\n \u00a0\u00a0Hitherward have our men been brought, hitherward to this\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0house our wives.","title":"Atharva Veda: Book 2: Hymn 26: A benediction on homeward coming cattle","type":"page"}
