Translation -
O sacrificial fire, may you not injure this animal (the cow), seated in the highest place; a spring spouting hundreds and thousands of streams (of milk), reared by men all over the world, and yielding butter for men continuously. I offer to you the wild gavaya (the precursor of cow); consuming him and flourishing thereon may you be seated here. May your burning heat go to the gavaya; may your burning heat go to him whom we hate. (1)
Notes -
No word for cow is there in this mantra, yet it refers to cow. Some adjectives are in masculine gender, while some in feminine. Both cow and bull can be included. Sahasram, सहस्रमूल्यर्हं, worth thousands of rupees. Or, serving a thousand purposes. Satadharam utsam, a spring spouting hundreds of streams. Sarirasya madhye, एषु लोकेषु, in these worlds; in this world. इमे वै लोका: सरिरम्, these worlds verily are sariram (S atapatha, VII. 5. 2. 34). Janaya, सर्वलोकाय, for all the people. Aditim, अखण्डिताम्, continuous; never-exhausting. Gavaya, blue bull (Bos Gavaeus).
