The man who reads the essence stored by saints, the Pavamana hymns,
Tastes food completely purified, made sweet by Matarisvan's touch.

Whoever reads the essence stored by saints, the Pavamana hymns,
For him Sarasvat! pours forth water and butter, milk and meath.

Yea, for the Pavamanas flow richly, drop fatness, bring us weal,--
Amrit deposited among the Brahmans, essence stored by saints.

So may the Pavamana hymns bestow on us this world and that,
And gratify our hearts' desires'-the Goddesses combined with Gods!

The purifying flood wherewith Gods ever purify themselves,--
With that, in thousand currents, may the Pavamanas make us clean!

The Pavamana hymns bring weal: by these man goes to Paradise,
And, eating pure and holy food, attains to immortality.
