She who rose and made great deeds, mighty in the world—O goddess seen in the heavens—share these treasures for us; may we be not childless.
Mighty goddess, who, scattering darkness, are endowed with power to arouse the world and make itvisible, we pray that we may be dear to you, the distributress of wealth, as sons are to a mother.
Thou, dawning, workest fain to light the great world, yea, heaven, Goddess! that it may be seen. We yearn to be thine own, Dealer of Wealth: may we be to this Mother like her sons.
