HYMN LXXV

A blessing on cows 1. Let not a thief or wicked man possess you: let not the dart of   Rudra come anear you,   Prolific, shining in the goodly pasture, drinking at pleasant pools    the limpid water. 2. Ye know the place and rest content, close-gathered, called by    many a name. Come to me, Goddesses, with Gods   Bedew with streams of fatness us, this cattle-pen, and all this    place.
