Book 6: Hymn 59: A charm to protect cattle and men
HYMN LIX
A charm to protect cattle and men
1First, O Arundhatī, protect our oxen and milky kine:
Protect each one that is infirm, each quadruped that yields no
milk.
2Let the Plant give us sheltering aid, Arundhatī allied with Gods;
Avert Consumption from our men and make our cow-pen rich
in milk.
3I welcome the auspicious Plant, life-giving, wearing every hue.
Far from our cattle may it turn the deadly dart which Rudra
casts.
