As one sees a like thing, so is it called; they placed like shade, like strong waters. Grant us vast earths; may great heroes, broad and unstirring, be with us.
Such as (the deity) is beheld, such is he said (to be); they abide with concentrated splendour in the waters; (may they bestow) upon us honourable and ample (riches) great energy, numerous male offspring and undecaying vigour.
Like as he is beheld such is he said to be. They with effectual splendour in the floods have made Earth yield us room enough and amply wide extent, great might invincible, with store of hero sons.
