1. Swift runs this giver of delight, even the stream of flowing juice:
Swift runs this giver of delight.

2. The Morning knows all precious things, the Goddess knows her grace to man:
Swift runs this giver of delight.

3. We have accepted thousands from Dhvasra's and Purusbanti's hands:
Swift runs this giver of delight.

4. From whom we have accepted thus thousands and three-times ten besides:
Swift runs this giver of delight.
