Ye Waters, be beneficial: so help us to gain energy That we may behold great joy.
Give us some of the juice, the most fortunate one you have, Like mothers in their eager love.
We gladly come to you for him to whom you send us off; And, Waters, give us fertility strength.
The Waters. Be to us for drink, Goddesses for our aid and happiness: Let them flow to us health and strength.
I ask the Floods to give us balm, these Queens who rule over precious things, And have supreme control over men.
Within the Waters-Soma, he has told me, dwell all balms that heal, And Agni, who blesses all.
O Waters, be filled with medicine to keep my body safe from harm, So that I may long see the Sun.
Whatever sin is in me, whatever evil I have done, If I have lied or sworn falsely, Waters, remove it far from me.
The Waters I seek today, and to their moisture have we come: O Agni, rich in milk, come thou, and with thy glory cover me.
