Sukta 14

Mantra 1

गोष्ठः। सं वो गोष्ठेन सुषदा सं रय्या सं सुभूत्या । अहर्जातस्य यन्नाम तेना वः सं सृजामसि

The cowshed: with the cowshed we settle you well—together with wealth, together with well-being. By the name, whatever it be, of the day-born, thereby do we unite you.

Mantra 2

सं वः सृजत्वर्यमा सं पूषा सं बृहस्पतिः । समिन्द्रो यो धनंजयो मयि पुष्यत यद् वसु

Let Aryaman join you together; together let Pūṣan, together Bṛhaspati. Together let Indra—he who conquers wealth—make thrive in me whatever good is yours.

Mantra 3

संजग्माना अबिभ्युषीरस्मिन् गोष्ठे करीषिणीः । बिभ्रतीः सोम्यं मध्वनमीवा उपेतन

Assembled, fearless, in this cowshed—ye dung-bearing ones—bearing Soma-like sweetness, disease-free: come ye hither, draw near.

Mantra 4

इहैव गाव एतनेहो शकेव पुष्यत । इहैवोत प्र जायध्वं मयि संज्ञानमस्तु वः

Hither, even here, O cows, come ye; here, with Śakra’s might, do ye thrive. Here, even here, moreover, bring ye forth; in me let there be concord among you.

Mantra 5

शिवो वो गोष्ठो भवतु शारिशाकेव पुष्यत । इहैवोत प्र जायध्वं मया वः सं सृजामसि

Auspicious be your cattle-stall; like the thriving pot-herb let it prosper. Here, even here, moreover, increase and be born forth: by me for you we bring the whole to issue.

Mantra 6

मया गावो गोपतिना सचध्वमयं वो गोष्ठ इह पोषयिष्णुः । रायस्पोषेण बहुला भवन्तीर्जीवा जीवन्तीरुप वः सदेम

By me, O cows, cleave with the cow-lord: this is your stall, here fostering increase. With the thriving of wealth become ye abundant—alive and living on; near you may we sit in attendance.
