1

THROUGH the Field's Master, as through a dear friend, we gain What sustains our cattle and horses. May He be kind to us.

2

AS the cow yields milk, pour freely, Lord of the Field, the sweet-flowing wave, Distilled like butter, and may the Lawful Ones be gracious.

3

MAY the plants be sweet for us, the skies, the waters, and the air's mid-region full of sweetness. May the Field's Lord be sweet for us, and may we follow Him unharmed.

4

MAY our steeds and men thrive, may the furrows be happy. MAY the traces bind well, may He drive the goad happily.

5

ŚUNA and SĪRA, welcome this song, with the milk you made in Heaven Drench this Earth of ours.

6

AUSPICIOUS SĪTĀ, come close to us; we honor and worship You That You bless and prosper us, and bring us abundant fruits.

7

MAY Indra tamp down the furrow, may PŪṢAN guide it straight. May She, rich in milk, be drained for us every year.

8

HAPPILY may the shares plow the land, happily may the ploughers with oxen go. WITH meath and milk, make us happy. Grant us prosperity, ŚUNA and SĪRA.
