Ye are Soma’s portion. O bright Ones of the Waters, O Waters, Goddesses, bestow ye splendour upon us. By Prajāpati’s ordinance—by your own established might—do I seat this man in yonder world (his proper realm).
यह पानी सोम के हिस्से का है। हे पानी के चमकने वाले देवी, हमें भी चमक दो। प्रजापति के नियम से मैं इस आदमी को उसकी सही जगह बिठा देता हूँ।
