Mandala 10: HYMN CLXXII. Dawn.

1. WITH all thy beauty come: the kine approaching with full udders follow on thy path.

2. Come with kind thoughts, most liberal, rousing the warrior's hymn of praise, with bounteous ones,

3. As nourishers we tie the thread, and, liberal with our bounty, offer sacrifice.

4. Dawn drives away her Sister's gloom, and, through her excellence, makes her retrace her path.
