Transliteration
gambhīrā́m̐ udadhī́m̐r iva krátuṁ puṣyasi gā́ iva | prá su-gopā́ yávasaṁ dhenávo yáthā hradáṁ kulyā́ iva ā́śata ||
Translation
Thou nurturest the will-to-work, deep as the oceans, as the luminous herds are fostered. Forward move the well-guarded streams of increase, as the milch-cows hasten to the pasture, as the channels run to the lake within.
