HYMN XXXIII

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.
