Win thou the rain, and go moreover unto the Gods: from off the skin thou sendest forth, and drivest round about, the smoke. All-pervading, ghee-backed, about to be of one womb, go thou unto this world, approach this realm.
Gagne la pluie, et va de plus vers les dieux : de la peau tu fais s’élever la fumée et tu la fais tournoyer tout autour. Omniprésent, au dos de ghee, sur le point d’être d’un même sein, va vers ce monde, approche ce domaine.
