HYMN XLVIII

A prayer for prosperity and the birth of a son

1I call on Rākā with hair laud and reverent cry: may she,
   auspicious, hear us and herself observe.
  With never-breaking needle may she sew her work, and send a
   glorious man who gives a hundred gifts.
2All thy kind favours, Rākā! lovely in their form, wherewith
   thou grantest treasures to the man who gives,
  With these come thou to us this day benevolent, O blessed one,
   bestowing wealth of thousand sorts.
