AV 7 75.1

प्रजावतीः सूयवसे रुशन्तीः शुद्धा अपः सुप्रपाणे पिबन्तीः । मा व स्तेन ईशत माघशंसः परि वो रुद्रस्य हेतिर् वृणक्तु

prajāvatīḥ sūyavase ruśantīḥ śuddhā apaḥ suprapāṇe pibantīḥ | mā va stena īśata māghaśaṃsaḥ pari vo rudrasya hetir vṛṇaktu

(Cows) rich in offspring, bright in good pasture, drinking pure waters at a good watering place—let no thief have power over you, no ill-speaker; let Rudra's missile pass you by.

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.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)

AV 7 75.2

पदज्ञा स्थ रमतयः संहिता विश्वनाम्नीः । उप मा देवीर् देवेभिर् एत । इमं गोष्ठम् इदं सदो घृतेनास्मान्त् सम् उक्षत

padajñā stha ramatayaḥ saṃhitā viśvanāmnīḥ | upa mā devīr devebhir eta | imaṃ goṣṭham idaṃ sado ghṛtenāsmānt sam ukṣata

You are knowers of the track, delighting, held together, of all names. Come to me, you goddesses, with the gods. Besprinkle with ghee this cow-stall, this seat, and us.

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.
