From goodly pasture, O Blessed One, do thou indeed increase; then may we be blessed with thee. Eat thou the grass, O Cow whom none may slay, all-giving; drink pure water as thou roamest.

من المرعى الحسن، يا مباركة (Bhagavatī)، ازدادي حقًّا ونَمِي؛ فعسى أن نكون نحن أيضًا مباركين بك. كُلي العُشبَ، أيتها البقرةُ التي لا تُذبح (aghnye)، يا واهبةَ العطاء للجميع؛ واشربي ماءً طاهرًا وأنتِ ساعيةٌ في مرعاك.
