HYMN XXIII

To the Waters

1Here flow the restless ones, they flow unceasing through the day
   and night,
  Most excellently wise I call the Goddess Waters hitherward.
2Let the deft Waters, summoned, give permission that we bear
   them off,
  And quickly set us on our way.
3Let all the people celebrate the rite of Savitar the God.
  Sweet unto us be Waters, Plants propitious!
