तस्मा॒ अरं॑ गमाम वो॒ यस्य॒ क्षया॑य॒ जिन्व॑थ । आपो॑ ज॒नय॑था च नः
tásmā́ áraṁ gamāma vo yásya kṣáyāya jínvatha | ā́po janáyathā ca naḥ
Therefore, duly would we resort to you, O Waters—whose power it is to quicken for secure abode; and, O Waters, do ye also beget for us (our good).
इसलिए हम पानी के पास आते हैं। पानी की ताकत है कि वो हमें जीने में मदद करे। पानी हमारे लिए अच्छा पैदा करे। हम पानी से दुआ माँगते हैं कि वो हमें सही जगह पे रखे।
