Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.49

समुद्रज्येष्ठाः सलिलस्य मध्यात् पुनाना यन्त्य् अनिविशमानाः । इन्द्रो या वज्री वृषभो रराद ता आपो देवीर् इह माम् अवन्तु ॥

samudrajyeṣṭhāḥ salilasya madhyāt punānā yanty aniviśamānāḥ | indro yā vajrī vṛṣabho rarāda tā āpo devīr iha mām avantu ||

Forth from the middle of the flood the Waters-their chief the Sea-flow cleansing, never sleeping. Indra, the Bull, the Thunderer, dug their channels: here let those Waters, Goddesses, protect me.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

या आपो दिव्या उत वा स्रवन्ति खनित्रिमा उत वा याः स्वयञ्जाः । समुद्रार्था याः शुचयः पावकास् ता आपो देवीर् इह माम् अवन्तु ॥

yā āpo divyā uta vā sravanti khanitrimā uta vā yāḥ svayañjāḥ | samudrārthā yāḥ śucayaḥ pāvakās tā āpo devīr iha mām avantu ||

Waters which come from heaven, or those that wander dug from the earth, or flowing free by nature, Bright, purifying, speeding to the Ocean, here let those Waters. Goddesses, protect me.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यासां राजा वरुणो याति मध्ये सत्यानृते अवपश्यञ् जनानाम् । मधुश्चुतः शुचयो याः पावकास् ता आपो देवीर् इह माम् अवन्तु ॥

yāsāṃ rājā varuṇo yāti madhye satyānṛte avapaśyañ janānām | madhuścutaḥ śucayo yāḥ pāvakās tā āpo devīr iha mām avantu ||

Those amid whom goes Varuna the Sovran, he who discriminates men's truth and falsehood- Distilling meath, the bright, the purifying, here let those Waters, Goddesses, protect me.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यासु राजा वरुणो यासु सोमो विश्वे देवा यासूर्जम् मदन्ति । वैश्वानरो यास्व् अग्निः प्रविष्टस् ता आपो देवीर् इह माम् अवन्तु ॥

yāsu rājā varuṇo yāsu somo viśve devā yāsūrjam madanti | vaiśvānaro yāsv agniḥ praviṣṭas tā āpo devīr iha mām avantu ||

They from whom Varuna the King, and Soma, and all the Deities drink strength and vigour, They into whom Vaisvanara Agni entered, here let those Waters, Goddesses, protect Me.
