Sukta 33

यासां॑ दे॒वा दि॒वि कृ॒ण्वन्ति॑ भ॒क्षं या अ॒न्तरि॑क्षे बहु॒धा भव॑न्ति । या अ॒ग्निं गर्भं॑ दधि॒रे सु॒वर्णा॒स्ता न॒ आपः॒ शं स्यो॒ना भ॑वन्तु

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 1.33.3

yā́sāṃ devā́ diví kṛṇvánti bhakṣáṃ yā́ antárikṣe bahudhā́ bhávanti | yā́ agníṃ gárbhaṃ dadhiré suvarṇā́s tā́ na ā́paḥ śáṃ syōnā́ bhavantu

Those Waters whose portion the Gods in heaven do order for enjoyment; those which in the mid-air manifoldly take form; those golden ones that have received Fire as embryo within them—may those Waters be for us welfare, kindly and benign.

దివిలో దేవులు భోగార్థం భాగాన్ని నియమించే ఆ జలాలు; అంతరిక్షంలో అనేక విధాలుగా రూపం దాల్చే ఆ జలాలు; అగ్నిని గర్భంగా తమలో ధరించిన స్వర్ణవర్ణ జలాలు—ఆ ఆపః మా కొరకు క్షేమకరముగా, స్నేహపూర్వకముగా, అనుకూలముగా ఉండుగాక.
