Let the oxen render the fruitful earth fertile; let the needy come with ploughs and teams. Let the rains bring sweet waters and milky streams; let the oxen give us butter and milk.
May the plural ugh shares break up our land happily; may the plural ughman go happily with the oxen; may Parjanya (water the earth) with sweet showers happily; grant, Śuna and Sīra, prosperity to us.
Happily let the shares turn up the ploughland, happily go the ploughers with the oxen. With meath and milk Parjanya make us happy. Grant us prosperity, Suna and Sira.
