18809The Hymns of the Rigveda, Book 10 — Hymn 183Ralph T.H. Griffith
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
