धियं॑ वो अ॒प्सु द॑धिषे स्व॒र्षां ययात॑र॒न्दश॑ मा॒सो नव॑ग्वाः । अ॒या धि॒या स्या॑म दे॒वगो॑पा अ॒या धि॒या तु॑तुर्या॒मात्यंहः॑
dhiyaṃ vo apsu dadhiṣe svarṣāṃ yayātarandaśa māso navagvāḥ ayā dhiyā syāma devagopā ayā dhiyā tuturyāmātyaṃhaḥ
May wisdom place you in the waters, O strong ones, carry you with yearly courses of nine months. By this intellect may we be protectors of the gods, by this intellect may we remove excess and strife.
I offer to you, (gods), for the sake of water, an all-bestowing sacrifice, whereby the nine-months ministrants have completed the ten-months rite; may we, by this sacrifice, be the protected of the gods; may we, by this sacrifice, cross over the boundaries of sin.
I lay upon the Floods your hymn, lightwinning, wherewith Navagvas their ten months completed. Through this our hymn may we have Gods to guard us: through this our hymn pass safe beyond affliction.
