Plain text of Book 5, Hymn 25

2 Even as God made this broad earth receive the germ of all the things that be,

So by His leave may the germ within thee be blessed. I call on Him to strengthen it.

3 O God, set the germ, set thou the germ in her.

Let Him bestow the germ in thee.

4 May God, the Friend, the All-Seeing, the Lord of Prayer, lay the germ in thee.

May God the Mighty, the Radiant, the Disposer, bestow the germ in thee.

5 May God form and mould the womb, duly shape the forms,

Infuse the stream, and lay for thee the germ.

7 By God's command there is a germ of plants and herbs, a germ of forest trees,

A germ of each existing thing, so may He lay the germ here.

9 Prepare thee, Barhatsama; may God give thee a son, thy son and mine.
