A medicine are the Waters. Be for us, O Goddesses, Waters—ye helpful ones—welfare, for drinking; and let them flow upon us for weal and health.
المياهُ دواءٌ. كوني لنا، أيتها الإلهاتُ، أيتها المياهُ المُعينةُ، سلامًا وخيرًا للشرب؛ ولتَسِلْ علينا بما فيه النفعُ والصحةُ.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī traditions for this short water-formula).
Devata: Āpaḥ (Waters), personified as Devīḥ (goddesses).
Chandas: Mixed/Pragātha-like prose-verse cadence; often treated as Anuṣṭubh-domain in practical recitation, though the opening is a nominal pāda.
