What happens in this chapter
Blessing the cows in their pasture
Shabara Kakshivata blesses the cows in trishtubh. May a pleasant wind blow over them; may they graze on strong plants; may they drink fat, life-giving waters. Rudra, be gracious to the cattle on their feet. Those of one colour, of many colours and of a single form, whose names Agni knows through yajna, give them great shelter, Parjanya. Those who offered their bodies among the devas, whose every form Soma knows, swelling with milk, rich in calves, release to us in the stall, Indra. Prajapati, one with all the devas and the fathers, has given them to me; may we share in their offspring.
