bounteous

May the bounteous Maruts be gracious to us, opening up to us the firm heaven and earth.

The bounteous Maruts pour forth water, mighty at sacrifices, the fat milk of the clouds.

Blowing forth their voice the bounteous Maruts performed, while drunk of Soma, their glorious deeds.

Unstring thy strong bows for the sake of our liberal lords, O bounteous Rudra, be gracious to our kith and kin.

I have often thought how wrong it is of us to neglect, as undoubtedly we do neglect, the bounteous gifts of the kindly earth.
