In him all living creatures have their being, and the three heavens with triplyflowing waters. Three reservoirs that sprinkle down their treasure shed their sweet streams around him with a murmur.

May this my song to Sovran Lord Parjanya come near unto his heart and give him pleasure. May we obtain the showers that bring enjoyment, and God-protected plants with goodly fruitage.
