1

Speak three words: the light that follows, the one that fills the teat that yields nectar. Quickly made manifest, the Bull roars, creating the seed of plants, the infant.

2

Giver of growth to plants, the One who rules over waters and all living beings, Grant us triple shelter for our refuge, and triple light to aid and protect us.

3

Now he is barren, now begets offspring, just as he wills, he changes his form. The Father’s warm flow moistens the Mother; with it, the Sire and the Son are nourished.

4

In him all living beings take form, and the three heavens with their triply-flowing waters. Three reservoirs that pour their treasure sprinkle sweet streams around him with a murmur.

5

May this my song reach the Sovereign Lord Parjanya and please him. May we obtain the rains that bring joy, and God-protected plants with good fruit.

6

He is the Bull of all, their impregnator: he keeps the life of all things fixed and moving. May this rite save me until my hundredth year. Preserve us always, ye Gods, with blessings.
