Translation -
The learned officer, in charge of production of all kinds, may bring about the increase and betterment of all kinds of cattle in the dairies of mine, who am progress-minded, by the help of Audumber-mani.
Footnote -
Audumber-mani is not an amulet of Griffith, or Sayana’s description. To me it also appears to be a mechanical contrivance, emitting magnetic or electric currents through the wood of the fig-type tree, which is prepared for ladles in the sacrificial ceremonies of the Hindu for such powers of radiation. These radiations help the growth and breeding powers of the cattle and even grains. In my opinion, it is the peaceful use of radio energy of the suitable trees and grasses that is emphasised here and the previous and coming suktas.
