Hymns of the Atharva Veda (Griffith) · 1 passage

1

1First, O Arundhatī, protect our oxen and milky kine: Protect each one that is infirm, each quadruped that yields no milk. 2Let the Plant give us sheltering aid, Arundhatī allied with Gods; Avert Consumption from our men and make our cow-pen rich in milk. 3I welcome the auspicious Plant, life-giving, wearing every hue. Far from our cattle may it turn the deadly dart which Rudra casts.
