10,9 Waters

10.IX Waters

ā́po hí ṣṭhā́ mayobhúvas tā́ na ūrjé dadhātana |
mahé ráṇāya cákṣase ||

1 YE, Waters, are beneficent: so help ye us to energy That we may look on great delight.

yó vaḥ śivátamo rásas tásya bhājayatehá naḥ |
uśatī́r iva mātáraḥ ||

2 Give us a portion of the sap, the most auspicious that ye have, Like mothers in their longing love.

tásmā áraṃ gamāma vo yásya kṣáyāya jínvatha |
ā́po janáyathā ca naḥ ||

3 To you we gladly come for him to whose abode ye send us on; And, Waters, give us procreant strength.

śáṃ no devī́r abhíṣṭaya ā́po bhavantu pītáye |
śáṃ yór abhí sravantu naḥ ||

4 The Waters. be to us for drink, Goddesses for our aid and bliss: Let them stream to us health and strength.

ī́śānā vā́riyāṇãṃ kṣáyantīś carṣaṇīnã́m |
apó yācāmi bheṣajám ||

5 1 beg the Floods to give us balm, these Queens who rule o’er precious things, And have supreme control of men.

apsú me sómo abravīd antár víśvāni bheṣajā́ |
agníṃ ca viśváśambhuvam ||

6 Within the Waters-Soma thus hath told me-dwell all balms that heal, And Agni, he who blesseth all.

ā́paḥ pr̥ṇītá bheṣajáṃ várūthaṃ tanúve máma |
jiyók ca sū́riyaṃ dr̥śé ||

7 O Waters, teem with medicine to keep my body safe from harm, So that I long may see the Sun.

idám āpaḥ prá vahata yát kíṃ ca duritám máyi |
yád vāhám abhidudróha yád vā śepá utā́nr̥tam ||

8 Whatever sin is found in me, whatever evil I have wrought, If I have lied or falsely sworn, Waters, remove it far from me.

ā́po adyā́nv acāriṣaṃ rásena sám agasmahi |
páyasvān agna ā́ gahi tám mā sáṃ sr̥ja várcasā ||

9 The Waters I this day have sought, and to their moisture have we come: O Agni, rich in milk, come thou, and with thy splendour cover me.
