Sukta 2
ता अ॒पः शि॒वा अ॒पोऽय॑क्ष्मं॒कर॑णीर॒पः । यथै॒व तृ॑प्यते॒ मय॒स्तास्त॒ आ द॑त्त भेष॒जीः
tā́ ā́paḥ śivā́ ā́po ’yákṣmaṃ-karaṇīr ā́paḥ | yáthā́iva tṛ́pyate máyaḥ tā́s te ā́ datta bheṣajī́ḥ ||
Those Waters are benign—those Waters, makers of freedom from wasting; just as refreshment is satisfied, so do those bestow on thee their healing remedies.
यह पानी अच्छा है, कोई बिमारी नहीं लाता। जैसे खाना खाके इंसान को सुकून मिलता है, वैसे ही यह पानी भी तुम्हे शक्ति देता है। यह पानी तुम्हे ठीक करने वाली दवाई जैसा है।
