Und mögen die göttlichen Frauen, die Gemahlinnen der Götter, zu ihrem lichten Wirken erwachen — Indrāṇī, Agnāyī, die Aśvinī, die königliche Macht. Möge Varuṇānī uns hören, zusammen mit Himmel und Erde. Mögen die Göttinnen in der rechten Zeit in Bewegung treten — im wahren Rhythmus von Geburten und Werdungen.
