Meaning of the Prayer Mantra:

 

(God) bestows comfort to our horses, rams, buffalos, 
male, female and cows! 

 Notes: 

1. We seek the grace of God not only for out kith and
kin, not even for humanity; We seek the grace for the 
well being of all creatures. This thought is reflected across
vedas.
