Sukta 33

Mantra 1

आपः। हिरण्यवर्णाः शुचयः पावका यासु जातः सविता यास्वग्निः । या अग्निं गर्भं दधिरे सुवर्णास्ता न आपः शं स्योना भवन्तु

Waters, gold-hued, pure, and cleansing—within whom Savitar hath been born, within whom Agni is; ye who have held Agni as an embryo, ye fair and golden—those Waters, for us, be welfare, be kindly, be benign.

Mantra 2

यासां राजा वरुणो याति मध्ये सत्यानृते अवपश्यन् जनानाम्। या अग्निं गर्भं दधिरे सुवर्णास्ता न आपः शं स्योना भवन्तु

In whose midmost space King Varuṇa moves, looking down on men, discerning truth and falsehood;—the Waters which have set Agni as an embryo within them, those golden Waters—may they be for us kindly, bringing weal.

Mantra 3

यासां देवा दिवि कृण्वन्ति भक्षं या अन्तरिक्षे बहुधा भवन्ति । या अग्निं गर्भं दधिरे सुवर्णास्ता न आपः शं स्योना भवन्तु

Those Waters whose portion the Gods in heaven do order for enjoyment; those which in the mid-air manifoldly take form; those golden ones that have received Fire as embryo within them—may those Waters be for us welfare, kindly and benign.

Mantra 4

शिवेन मा चक्षुषा पश्यतापः शिवया तन्वोप स्पृशत त्वचं मे । घृतश्चुतः शुचयो याः पावकास्ता न आपः शं स्योना भवन्तु

With auspicious eye look ye on me, O Waters; with auspicious body touch ye, drawing near, my skin. Ye that are ghee-distilling, pure, and purifying—those Waters, for us, may they become welfare, may they be kindly.
