HYMN XLVII

A prayer for wealth and birth of a son

1Oft in this sacrifice with favoured cry I call Kuhū, beneficent
Goddess, skilled in all her works.
May she vouchsafe us wealth with every boon, and give a, hero
meet for praise who gives a hundred gifts.
2Kuhl), the Queen of Gods and immortality, called to assist,
enjoy this sacrifice of' ours!
Let her, desirous of our worship, hear to-day: may she,
intelligent, give increase of our wealth.
