समी॑क्षयन्तु तवि॒षाः सु॒दान॑वो॒ ऽपां रसा॒ ओष॑धीभिः सचन्ताम्। व॒र्षस्य॒ सर्गा॑ महयन्तु॒ भूमिं॒ पृथ॑ग् जायन्ता॒मोष॑धयो वि॒श्वरू॑पाः

Let the mighty bountiful powers work in concert; let the essences of the waters unite with the herbs. Let the outpourings of rain make the earth great; let the herbs be born, each apart, of manifold forms.
Que las fuerzas poderosas y dadivosas obren al unísono; que las esencias de las aguas se unan con las hierbas (oṣadhī). Que los derrames de la lluvia engrandezcan la tierra; que nazcan por separado las hierbas (oṣadhī), de formas múltiples.
