May the two Asvins protect you. Brihaspati is your herdsman. May P\u00fbshan drive you back again'\u2014\nthis (verse) he recites over the cows when they go away (to their pasture-grounds), and (the verse), 'May P\u00fbshan go after our cows' (Taitt. Samh. IV, 1, 11, 2).\n2. With (the verse), 'These cows that have come hither, free from disease and prolific, may they swim (full of wealth) like rivers; may they pour out (wealth), as (rivers discharge their floods) into the ocean'\u2014he looks at the cows, when they are coming back.\n3. 3 With (the formula), 'You are a stand at rest; may I (?) become your stand at rest. You are immovable. Do not move from me. May I not move from you, the blessed ones'\u2014(he looks at them) when they are standing still.\n4. With (the formula), 'I see you full of sap. Full of sap you shall see me'\u2014(he looks at them) when they are gone into the stable, and with (the formula), 'May I be prosperous through your thousandfold prospering.'\n5. 5 Then having put wood on the fire amid the cows, and having performed the rites down to the Vy\u00e2hriti (oblations), he makes oblations of milk with (the verses),\n'Blaze brightly, O G\u00e2tavedas, driving destruction away from me. Bring me cattle and maintenance from all quarters of the heaven. Sv\u00e2h\u00e2!\n'May G\u00e2tavedas do no harm to us, to cows and horses, to men and to all that moves. Come hither,\n[paragraph continues] Agni, fearlessly; make me attain to welfare! Sv\u00e2h\u00e2!'\u2014\nAnd with (the two verses), 'This is the influx of the waters,' and 'Adoration to thee, the rapid one, the shining one' (Taitt. Samh. IV, 6, 1, 3).\n6. Then follow oblations with the verses), 'This, O Varuna' (&c.; see I, 2, 8, 16, down to the end of the S\u00fbtra).\nEnd of the Fifth Patala.\n184:1 18, 1 seq. Comp. S\u00e2\u1e45kh\u00e2yana III, 9; Gobhila III, 6; \u00c2sval\u00e2yana II, 10.\n185:3 The Mantra is very corrupt. I think it ought to be corrected somehow in the following way: samsth\u00e2 stha samsth\u00e2 vo bht\u00fby\u00e2sam akyut\u00e2 stha ma mak kyodhvam m\u00e2ham bhavat\u00eebhyas kyoshi. Comp. also Dr. Kirste's note.\n185:5 In the second verse I propose to change abibhrad into p. 186 abibhyad; comp. Atharva-veda XIX, 65, 1: ava t\u00e2m gahi haras\u00e2 G\u00e2tavedo\u093dbibhyad ugro\u093d rkish\u00e2 divam \u00e2 roha s\u00fbrya. The last words of this verse should be sriyam m\u00e2 pratip\u00e2daya, or something similar.","title":"Grihya Sutras, Part 2 (SBE30): Grihya S\u00fbtra of Hiranyakesin: I, 5, 18","type":"page"}
