They, not the masters, themselves pleased with sacrifice, were born of the sound; purified, they came forth. May the thousand‑rayed ones of the waters grant us delight; may the worthy cows and the adorers be our portion.

They who are as if embodied, self-born, self-invigorated, and (ever) tremulous (in movement), are genitive rated (to confer) abundant food and heaven; they are numerous as the undulations of the waters; they are to be praised when present, shedding water, like cows (yielding milk).

Surrounding, as it were, self-born, self-powerful, they spring to life the shakers-down of food and light; Like as the countess undulations of the floods, worthy of praise when near, like bullocks and like kine.
