HYMN XXIII

To the Waters

Here flow the restless ones, they flow unceasing through the day
and night,
Most excellently wise I call the Goddess Waters hitherward.
Let the deft Waters, summoned, give permission that we bear
them off,
And quickly set us on our way.
Let all the people celebrate the rite of Savitar the God.
Sweet unto us be Waters, Plants propitious!
