Griffith, [1896]\n1. MAY the wind blow upon our Cows with healing: may they eat herbage full of vigorous juices.\n May they drink waters rich in life and fatness: to food that moves on feet be gracious, Rudra.\n 2 Like-coloured, various-hued, or single-coloured, whose names through sacrifice are known to Agni,\n Whom the A\u1e45girases produced by Fervour,\u2014vouchsafe to these, Parjanya, great protection.\n 3 Those who have offered to the Gods their bodies, whose varied forms are all well known to Soma,\u2014\n Those grant us in our cattle-pen, O Indra, with their full streams of milk and plenteous offspring.\n 4 Praj\u0101pati, bestowing these upon me, one-minded with all Gods and with the Fathers,\n Hath to our cow-pen brought auspicious cattle: so may we own the offspring they will bear us.","title":"Rig Veda: Rig-Veda, Book 10: HYMN CLXIX.
