HYMN LXXV

A blessing on cows

1Let not a thief or wicked man possess you: let not the dart of
 Rudra come anear you,
 Prolific, shining in the goodly pasture, drinking at pleasant pools
  the limpid water. p. a303
2Ye know the place and rest content, close-gathered, called by
  many a name. Come to me, Goddesses, with Gods
 Bedew with streams of fatness us, this cattle-pen, and all this
  place.
