HYMN XLVI

A charm for offspring and prosperity

1O broad-tressed Sinivāli, thou who art the sister of the Gods,
  Accept the offered sacrifice, and, Goddess, grant us progeny.
2Present the sacrifice to her, to Sinivāli, Queen of men, Beauti-
   ful-fingered, lovely-armed, prolific, bearing many a child.
3Thou who as Queen of men art Indra's equal, a Goddess
   coming with a thousand tresses,
  To thee our sacrifices are performed, O Consort of Vishnu
  Goddess, urge thy Lord to bounty!
