Whoso of you, O Waters, is the Waters’ golden germ, lodged within the waters, fit for the inner Yajus, a sacrificer unto no Gods—this one I send forth beyond; wash him not back upon me. With him we hurl him forth against that man who hateth us, whom we ourselves do hate. Him would I smite, him would I crush, with this brahman, with this operation, with this wrathful impulse.
पानी में जो शक्ति है, जिसे सोना के जैसा कहते हैं, वो अंदर छुपा है। वो किसी भगवान की पूजा नहीं करता। मैं उसे बाहर भेजता हूँ, वो मुझपे वापस न आए। उस शक्ति से हम दुश्मन पे मारता हैं जो हमसे नफरत करता है। मैं उसे मारूँगा, उसे कुछ दूँगा, इस मंत्र से, इस करम से, इस गुस्से से।
