Give us a portion of the sap, the most auspicious that ye have, Like mothers in their longing love.

apsu me somo abravīd antar viśvāni bheṣajā | agniṃ ca viśvaśambhuvam ||
Within the Waters-Soma thus hath told me-dwell all balms that heal, And Agni, he who blesseth all.

आपः पृणीत भेषजं वरूथं तन्वे मम । ज्योक् च सूर्यं दृशे ॥
āpaḥ pṛṇīta bheṣajaṃ varūthaṃ tanve mama | jyok ca sūryaṃ dṛśe ||
O Waters, teem with medicine to keep my body safe from harm, So that I long may see the Sun.

idam āpaḥ pra vahata yat kiṃ ca duritam mayi | yad vāham abhidudroha yad vā śepa utānṛtam ||
Whatever sin is found in me, whatever evil I have wrought, If I have lied or falsely sworn, Waters, remove it far from me.

आपो अद्यान्व् अचारिषं रसेन सम् अगस्महि । पयस्वान् अग्न आ गहि तम् मा सं सृज वर्चसा ॥
āpo adyānv acāriṣaṃ rasena sam agasmahi | payasvān agna ā gahi tam mā saṃ sṛja varcasā ||
The Waters I this day have sought, and to their moisture have we come: O Agni, rich in milk, come thou, and with thy splendour cover me.
