Let the waters, who are the goddesses....Hindu Prayer

They who have the ocean as their eldest

Flow out of the sea, purifying themselves, never resting.

Indra, the bull and the thunderbolt, opened a way for them,

let the waters, who are goddesses, help me here now.

The waters of the sky or those that flow,

those that are dug out or those that arise by themselves, 

those pure and clear waters that seek the ocean as their goal----

let the waters, who are the goddesses, help me now.

Those in whose midst King Varuna moves, 

looking down upon the truth and falsehood of people,

those pure and clear waters that drip honey---

let the waters, who are the goddesses, help me now.

Those among whom King Varuna and Soma, and all the gods

drink in ecstasy the exhilarating nourishment,

those into whom Agni Of-all-men entered---

let the waters, who are the goddesses, help me now.
