udvatsvasmā akṛṇotanā tṛṇaṃ nivatsvapaḥ svapasyayā naraḥ agohyasya yadasastanā gṛhe tadadyedamṛbhavo nānu gacchatha
He who rose did not make the grass lie down; that which was not in the homestead became wet today — go not hence.
Ṛbhus, leaders (of the rains), you have caused the grass to grow upon the high plural ces; you have caused the waters to flow over the low plural ces; for (the promotion of) good works; as you have reposed for a while in the dwelling of the unapprehensible (Sun), so desist not today from (the discharge of) this (your function).
On the high places ye have made the grass for man, and water in the valleys, by your skill, O Men. Rbhus, ye iterate not to-day that act of yours, your sleeping in the house of him whom naught can hide.
