Book 7: Hymn 48: A prayer for prosperity and the birth of a son

1I call on Rākā with hair laud and reverent cry: may she, auspicious, hear us and herself observe. With never-breaking needle may she sew her work, and send a glorious man who gives a hundred gifts. 2All thy kind favours, Rākā! lovely in their form, wherewith thou grantest treasures to the man who gives, With these come thou to us this day benevolent, O blessed one, bestowing wealth of thousand sorts.
