401 in Vāit. (4. 8), in the parvan ceremonies, accompanying, with other verses, the offering of the patnīsaṁyāja oblations.

Translated: Henry, 7, 59; Griffith, i. 336.

1. Burst forth, O earth; split this cloud of heaven; untie for us, O Dhātar, that art master, the skin-bag of the water of heaven.

2. Not heat burned, not cold smote; let the earth, of quick drops, burst forth; waters verily flow ghee for him; where Soma is, there is it ever excellent.

 

1. Prajāpati generates these offspring (prajā́s); let Dhātar, with favoring mind, bestow (dhā) [them]; harmonious, like-minded, of like origin; let the lord of prosperity put (dhā) prosperity in me.
