उपास्महे आपः मातृतमाः ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Apah Matritamah Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Apah, most maternal nourishers of all life;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
