MAY we obtain this day from you, O Waters, that wave of pure refreshment, which the pious Made erst the special beverage of Indra, bright, stainless, rich in sweets and dropping fatness.

तमूर्मिमापो मधुमत्तमं वोऽपां नपादवत्वाशुहेमा। यस्मिन्निन्द्रो वसुभिर्मादयाते तमश्याम देवयन्तो वो अद्य॥

May the Floods' Offspring, he whose course is rapid, protect that wave most rich in sweets, O Waters, That shall make Indra and the Vasus joyful. This may we gain from you to-day, we pious.

śatapavitrāḥ svadhayā madantīrdevīrdevānāmapi yanti pāthaḥ | tā indrasya na minanti vratāni sindhubhyo havyaṁ ghṛtavajjuhota ||

All-purifying, joying in their nature, to paths of Gods the Goddesses move onward. They never violate the laws of Indra. Present the oil-rich offering to the Rivers.

याः सूर्यो रश्मिभिराततान याभ्य इन्द्रो अरदद्गातुमूर्मिम्। ते सिन्धवो वरिवो धातना नो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

yāḥ sūryo raśmibhirātatāna yābhya indro aradadgātumūrmim | te sindhavo varivo dhātanā no yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Whom Surya with his bright beams hath attracted, and Indra dug the path for them to travel, May these Streams give us ample room and freedom. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
