O purifying earth, I you invoke!
O patient earth, by sacred word enhanced,
bearer of nourishment and strenght, of food and ghee -
O earth, we would approach you with due praise.
Your circling seasons, nights succeeding days,
your summer, o earth, your splashing rains, your autumn,
your winter and frosty season yielding to spring -
may each and all produce for us their milk.
May your dwellings, o earth, free from sickness and wasting,
flourish for us! Through a long life, watchful,
may we always offer to you our tribute!
Atharva Veda
