Sukta 15
आपो॑ वि॒द्युद॒भ्रं व॒र्षं सं वो॑ऽवन्तु सु॒दान॑व॒ उत्सा॑ अजग॒रा उ॒त। म॒रुद्भिः॒ प्रच्यु॑ता मे॒घाः प्राव॑न्तु पृथि॒वीमनु॑
ā́po vidyúd abhráṃ várṣaṃ sáṃ vo ’vantu sudā́nava útsā́ ajagará úta | marúdbhiḥ prácyutā meghā́ḥ prá̄vantu pṛthivī́m ánu ||
May the Waters, with lightning, cloud, and rain, in concert succour you—bounteous givers—yea, the springs, yea, the hidden holders; and may the clouds, shaken loose by the Maruts, further aid, raining along the Earth.
Moga Air-Airan, bersama kilat, awan, dan hujan, dengan sepakat menolong kamu—para pemberi yang pemurah; ya, mata air; ya, para pemegang yang tersembunyi. Dan moga awan-awan, yang terlerai digoncang oleh Marut, lebih membantu, menurunkan hujan sepanjang Bumi.
