Vasiṣṭha (traditional for this Parjanya cluster in RV 7)
Parjanya
Gāyatrī
Himne Gāyatrī yang ringkas ini menyeru Parjanya, “putera Langit,” sebagai pembawa hujan yang pemurah, yang membangkitkan padang ragut, tumbuh-tumbuhan, serta kesuburan lembu dan kuda. Ia memuji kuasa pemberi-hidupnya, lalu beralih kepada arahan ritual yang langsung: persembahkan oblation yang manis kepada Parjanya agar ia menganugerahkan pertambahan yang teratur (Iḷā) dan kesejahteraan.

It asks for yavas (pasture/sustaining increase) and for iḷā—meaning well-ordered nourishment, right distribution, and stable prosperity supported by timely rain.
It can be recited during a fire offering when seeking rain, crop growth, or herd well-being. The third verse explicitly directs offering a sweet oblation (madhumat havis) to Parjanya while praying for iḷā.
