English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Ye are Soma’s portion. O bright Ones of the Waters, O Waters, Goddesses, bestow ye splendour upon us. By Prajāpati’s ordinance—by your own established might—do I seat this man in yonder world (his proper realm).

Translation

أنتم نصيبُ سوما. يا لامعاتِ المياه، أيتها المياه، أيتها الإلهات، امنحنَا البهاءَ والقوةَ المتألقة (varcas). وبحُكمِ براجاباتي—وبقدرتِكنّ الراسخةِ أنتنّ—أُجلِسُ هذا الرجلَ في ذلك العالم، في مقامِه الحقّ.
