May this heaven and earth be true; whether the father or mother speak of the fire or we speak: this is the being of the gods, born from the waters; I know this herd-sustaining, life-giving remedy.
May this (hymn), Heaven and Earth,be successful; (the hymn) which, Father and Mother, I repeat to you both on this occasion; be ever with your protection in the proximity of those who praise you; that we may obtain food, strength, and long life.
Be this my prayer fulfilled, O Earth and Heaven, wherewith, Father and Mother, I address you. Nearest of Gods be ye with your protection. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
