A medicine are the Waters. Be for us, O Goddesses, Waters—ye helpful ones—welfare, for drinking; and let them flow upon us for weal and health.
Nước là dược liệu. Hỡi các Nữ thần—các Nước, những đấng trợ giúp—xin hãy ban an lành cho chúng tôi, để chúng tôi được uống; và xin hãy chảy tràn lên chúng tôi, đem lại phúc lợi và sức khỏe.
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (often transmitted under Atharvan/Angiras lineages; specific r̥ṣi attribution varies by anukramaṇī traditions for this short water-formula).
Devata: Āpaḥ (Waters), personified as Devīḥ (goddesses).
Chandas: Mixed/Pragātha-like prose-verse cadence; often treated as Anuṣṭubh-domain in practical recitation, though the opening is a nominal pāda.
