She, excellent in wealth, like a generous host, radiant, golden, of unblemished form; Brihaspati made her depart from the mountains like a nourisher, as if setting forth grain for those standing.

Brhaspati, having won them from the mountains, strewed down, like barley out of winnowing- baskets, The vigorous, wandering cows who aid the pious, desired of all, of blameless form, well-coloured.
