Hymns of the Atharva Veda, by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1895], at sacred-texts.com


HYMN LXXV

A blessing on cows

1Let 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. p. a303
2Ye 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.
