i. 5-

4. Of the waters, having mastery of desirable things, ruling over human beings (carṣaṇí), I ask a remedy.

1. Be the divine waters weal for us in order to assistance, to drink; weal [and] health flow they unto us.

2. Within the waters, Soma told me, are all remedies, and Agni (fire) wealful for all.

3. O waters, bestow a remedy, protection (várūtha) for my body, and long to see the sun.

4. Weal for us the waters of the plains, and weal be those of the marshes, weal for us the waters won by digging, and weal what are brought in a vessel; propitious to us be those of the rain.
