Book 10 >> HYMN 183 - The Sacrificer



अपश्यं तवा मनसा चेकितानं तपसो जातं तपसोविभूतम |
इह परजामिह रयिं रराणः पर जायस्वप्रजया पुत्रकाम
English:- . I SAW thee meditating in thy spirit what sprang from Fervour and hath thence developed.
Bestowing offspring here, bestowing riches, spread in thine offspring, thou who cravest children.

अपश्यं तवा मनसा दीध्यानां सवायां तनू रत्व्येनाधमानाम |
उप मामुच्चा युवतिर्बभूयाः पर जायस्वप्रजया पुत्रकामे
English:- I saw thee pondering in thine heart, and praying that in due time thy body might be fruitful.
Come as a youthful woman, rise to meet me: spread in thine offspring, thou who cravest children.

अहं गर्भमदधामोषधीष्वहं विश्वेषु भुवनेष्वन्तः अहं परजा अजनयं पर्थिव्यामहं जनिभ्यो अपरीषुपुत्रान
English:- In plants and herbs, in all existent beings I have deposited the germ of increase.
All progeny on earth have I engendered, and sons in women who will be hereafter.
