6.28.1
आ गावो॑ अग्मन्नु॒त भ॒द्रम॑क्र॒न्त्सीद॑न्तु गो॒ष्ठे र॒णय॑न्त्व॒स्मे ।
प्र॒जाव॑तीः पुरु॒रूपा॑ इ॒ह स्यु॒रिन्द्रा॑य पू॒र्वीरु॒षसो॒ दुहा॑नाः ॥
The cows have come here and have done what is auspicious for us. Let them sit in the cowpen and rejoice among us. May they, rich in offspring and of many forms, be here, milking the first dawns for Indra.
6.28.2
इन्द्रो॒ यज्व॑ने पृण॒ते च॑ शिक्षति॒ उपेद्द॑दाति॒ न स्वं मु॑षायति ।
भूयो॑भूयो र॒यिमिद॑स्य व॒र्धय॒न्नभि॑न्ने खि॒ल्ये नि द॑धाति देव॒युम् ॥
Indra, desiring to instruct the sacrificer who satisfies him, gives near at hand and steals nothing of his own. Again and again increasing his wealth, he places the devoted worshipper in the unbroken fold.
6.28.3
न ता न॑शन्ति॒ न द॑भाति॒ तस्क॑रो॒ नासा॑मामि॒त्रो व्यथि॒रा द॑धर्षति ।
दे॒वांश्च॒ याभि॒र्यज॑ते॒ ददा॑ति च॒ ज्योगित्ताभिः॑ सचते॒ गोप॑तिः स॒ह ॥
May they not perish; may no thief harm them, nor their enemy's injury come near. With those by which he sacrifices and gives to the gods, the lord of cows is quickly joined together.
6.28.4
न ता अर्वा॑ रे॒णुक॑काटो अश्नुते॒ न सं॑स्कृत॒त्रमुप॑ यन्ति॒ ता अ॒भि ।
उ॒रु॒गा॒यमभ॑यं॒ तस्य॒ ता अनु॒ गावो॒ मर्त॑स्य॒ वि च॑रन्ति॒ यज्व॑नः ॥
The horse Reṇukākaṭa does not reach them, nor do they go to the well-made sacrificial ground. Behind the man of wide-sung fearlessness, the cows of the sacrificer wander apart.
6.28.5
गावो॒ भगो॒ गाव॒ इन्द्रो॑ मे अच्छा॒न्गावः॒ सोम॑स्य प्रथ॒मस्य॑ भ॒क्षः ।
इ॒मा या गावः॒ स ज॑नास॒ इन्द्र॑ इ॒च्छामीद्धृ॒दा मन॑सा चि॒दिन्द्र॑म् ॥
The cows are fortune, the cows are Indra; the cows have pleased me. The cows are the first portion of the soma. O people, through these very cows I desire Indra with heart and mind.
6.28.6
यू॒यं गा॑वो मेदयथा कृ॒शं चि॑दश्री॒रं चि॑त्कृणुथा सु॒प्रती॑कम् ।
भ॒द्रं गृ॒हं कृ॑णुथ भद्रवाचो बृ॒हद्वो॒ वय॑ उच्यते स॒भासु॑ ॥
O cows, you make the lean fat, and even the unlovely you make well-faced. O cows of auspicious voice, you make an auspicious home; your great strength is proclaimed in the assemblies.
6.28.7
प्र॒जाव॑तीः सू॒यव॑सं रि॒शन्तीः॑ शु॒द्धा अ॒पः सु॑प्रपा॒णे पिब॑न्तीः ।
मा व॑ स्ते॒न ई॑शत॒ माघशं॑सः॒ परि॑ वो हे॒ती रु॒द्रस्य॑ वृज्याः ॥
Rich in offspring, grazing on good fodder, drinking pure waters at the good drinking place, O cows: may the thief not overpower you, nor the evil-speaker; may the weapon of Rudra keep away from you.
6.28.8
उपे॒दमु॑प॒पर्च॑नमा॒सु गोषूप॑ पृच्यताम् ।
उप॑ ऋष॒भस्य॒ रेत॑सि॒ उपे॑न्द्र॒ तव॑ वी॒र्ये॑ ॥
May this supporting praise attach itself to these cows, to the seed of the bull, and to your virility, O Indra.
