The Rig Veda — Mandala 2, Hymn 34 (1896)
“ Make it swell like a mare, in udder like a cow, and for the singer grace the song with plenteous strength. 7. Give us a steed, O Maruts mighty in the car; prevailing prayer that brings remembrance day by day; Food to your praisers, to your bard in deeds of might give winning wisdom, power uninjured, unsurpassed. 8. When the bright-chested Maruts, lavish of their gifts, bind at the time bliss their horses to the cars, Then, as the milch-cow feeds her calf within the stalls, they pour forth food for all oblation-bringing men. ”
