सूयवसाद् भगवती हि भूया अधा वयं भगवन्तः स्याम । अद्धि तृणमघ्न्ये विश्वदानीं पिब शुद्धमुदकमाचरन्ती

IAST Transliteration

sūyavasā́d bhágavatī hí bhūyā́ ádhā vayáṃ bhágavantaḥ syāma | áddhi tṛ́ṇam aghnye viśvadā́nīṃ píba śuddhám udakám ācarántī ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

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.

Translation

सुन्दर चरागाह से, हे भगवती, तू निश्चय ही बढ़ती-फूलती रह; तब हम भी तेरे साथ भगवन्त (धन्य) हों। हे अघ्न्ये—जिसे मारा न जाए—सर्वदा देने वाली, अभी सर्वत्र तृण खा; विचरती हुई शुद्ध जल पी।
