Hãy tự thanh tẩy mà chảy, làm vui lòng các thần; đấng cai trị rộng khắp trong bước đi, cư ngụ trong các dòng nước—vì Indra, vì Varuṇa, hay vì Vāyu. Hôm nay xin hãy tạo cho chúng con varivas, khoảng rộng của đời sống, đầy phúc an; trong nơi cư trú rộng lớn ấy, hãy ca ngợi và nâng dậy dân tộc thần linh.
