Rig Veda

  1. TURN, go not farther on your way: visit us, O ye Wealthy Ones. Agni and Soma, ye who bring riches again, secure us wealth. 2 Make these return to us again, bring them beside us once again. May. Indra give them back to us, and Agni drive them hither-ward. 3 Let them return to us again: under this herdsman let them feed. Do thou, O Agni, keep them here, and let the wealth we have remain. 4 1 call upon their herdsman, him who knoweth well their coming nigh, Their parting and their home-return, and watcheth their approach and rest. 5 Yea, let the herdsman, too, return, who marketh well their driving-forth; Marketh their wandering away, their turning back and coming home. 6 Home-leader, lead them home to us; Indra, restore to us our kine: We will rejoice in them alive. 7 1 offer you on every side butter and milk and strengthening food. May all the Holy Deities pour down on us a flood of wealth. 8 O thou Home-leader, lead them home, restore them thou who bringest home. Four are the quarters of the earth; from these bring back to us our kine,
