Translated Text:

Waters we venerate,
The dammed [pond], the collected [lake],
The running [stream], the well-banked [river],
The well-gushing [waterfall] and the well-bathing [sea].

Commentary:

The prayerful venerate various types of water—water in the pond, lake, stream, river, the waterfall and the sea. Water in all these shapes is dear to them.

Pondering Point:

“Venerate the water of Earth in all its forms and seek never to pollute it.”
