Translation
เมื่อได้ดื่มแล้ว ขอท่านทั้งหลายจงเป็นสิ่งเกื้อกูลและผาสุกเถิด; โอ้เหล่าน้ำทั้งหลาย ขอจงสถิตอย่างเมตตาอยู่ภายในท้องของเราเถิด. ขอให้น้ำเหล่านั้น—อันเป็นเทวี เป็นอมตะ และยังเพิ่มพูน ṛta (ระเบียบอันเที่ยงธรรมแห่งจักรวาล)—จงมีรสหวานแก่เรา ปราศจากโรคซูบซีด (yákṣmā) ปราศจากโรคภัย ปราศจากบาปเถิด.
