Book 1: Hymn 33: To the Waters, for health and happiness

1May they, the golden-hued, the bright, the splendid, they wherein Savitar was born and Agni, They who took Agni as a germ, fair-coloured, the Waters, bring felicity and bless us! 2They in the midst whereof King Varuna moveth, viewing men's righteous and unrighteous dealing. They who took Agni as a germ, fair-coloured,—those Waters bring felicity and bless us! 3Whom the Gods make their beverage in heaven, they who wax manifold in air's mid-region, They who took Agni as a germ, fair-coloured,—those Waters bring felicity and bless us! 4Ye Waters, with auspicious eye behold me: touch ye my skin with your auspicious body. May they, the bright and pure, distilling fatness, those Waters, bring felicity and bless us.
