Griffith, [1896]\n1. WE through the Master of the Field, even as through a friend, obtain\n What nourisheth our kine and steeds. In such may he be good to us.\n 2 As the cow yieldeth milk, pour for us freely, Lord of the Field, the wave that beareth sweetness,\n Distilling meath, well-purified like butter, and let the. Lords of holy Law be gracious.\n 3 Sweet be the plants for us. the heavens, the waters, and full of sweets for us be air's mid-region.\n May the Field's Lord for us be full of sweetness, and may we follow after him uninjured.\n 4 Happily work our steers and men, may the plough furrow happily.\n Happily be the traces bound; happily may he ply the goad.\n 5 \u015auna and S\u012bra, welcome ye this laud, and with the milk which ye have made in heaven\n Bedew ye both this earth of ours.\n 6 Auspicious S\u012bt\u0101, come thou near: we venerate and worship thee\n That thou mayst bless and prosper us and bring us fruits abundantly.\n 7 May Indra press the furrow down, may P\u016b\u1e63an guide its course aright.\n May she, as rich in milk, be drained for us through each succeeding year.\n 8 Happily let the shares turn up the plough-land, happily go the ploughers with the oxen.\n With meath and milk Parjanya make us happy. Grant us prosperity, \u015auna and S\u012bra.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 4: HYMN LVII. Ksetrapati, Etc.","type":"page"}
