Roar forth; thunder; smite the watery mass: with milk-like moisture, O Parjanya, bedew the Earth full. Let the abundant rain, sent forth by thee, come—unto the dwelling, even where hope is worn away, unto the lean and the heavy-laden.
Brülle hervor; donnere; schlage die wässrige Masse. Mit milchhafter Feuchte, o Parjanya, benetze die Erde reichlich. Möge der von dir entsandte, reiche Regen kommen – zur Wohnstatt; auch dorthin, wo die Hoffnung erschöpft ist, zum Mageren und zum Schwerbeladenen.
