आपो हि ष्ठा मयोभुवस्ता न ऊर्जे दधातन ।
महे रणाय चक्षसे ॥ १.५.१ ॥

Waters, you indeed are the bringers of happiness. Grant us to sustain strength and nourishment, for great delight and for sight.

यो वः शिवतमो रसस्तस्य भाजयतेह नः ।
उशतीरिव मातरः ॥ १.५.२ ॥

Of your most auspicious essence, impart a share to us here, as eager mothers do.

तस्मा अरं गमाम वो यस्य क्षयाय जिन्वथ ।
आपो जनयथा च नः ॥ १.५.३ ॥

For the sake of that abode in which you refresh, we shall readily come to you. Waters, generate us as well.

ईशाना वार्याणां क्षयन्तीश्चर्षणीनाम् ।
अपो याचामि भेषजम् ॥ १.५.४ ॥

Waters, lords of desirable wealth and dwellers among men, I beg you for a remedy.
