She ascended; she came to men (manuṣyà); men called to her: O rich in cheer, come! of her Manu son of Vivasvant was young, earth [was] vessel; her Pṛithī son of Vena milked; from her he milked both cultivation (kṛṣí) and grain; upon those two, both cultivation and grain, men subsist; successful by what is cultivated (kṛṣṭá-), one to be subsisted upon, becometh he who knoweth thus.
