1. 4

    यस्याश्चतस्त्रः प्रदिशः पृथिव्या यस्यामन्नं कृष्टयः संबभूवुः । या बिभर्ति बहुधा प्राणदेवत्सा नो भूमिर्गोष्वप्यन्ने दधातु ॥ ४॥

    Salutations to mother earth! in her resides the four directions of the world; in her is contained food which she manifests when ploughed, she sustains the various lives living in her; may she, the mother earth, bestow on us the ray of life present even in food. ।। 4 ।।
