Atharva Veda 19.2

Praise and prayer to the waters

Weal to thee [be] the waters from the snowy mountains (hāimavatá), and weal be to thee those from the fountains; weal to thee the running waters, and weal to thee be those of the rain.

Weal to thee [be] the waters of the wastes, weal be to thee those of the marshes; weal to thee the waters of the canals (khanitríma), weal those brought with vessels.

Digging for themselves without shovels, keen (vípra), working in the deep (gambhīrá), more healing than the healers (bhiṣáj), the waters we address.

Of the waters indeed from the sky, of the waters from the streams (srotasyà)—in the forth-washing indeed of the waters, ye become vigorous (vājín) horses.

Weal [be] to thee the waters, propitious the waters, effecting freedom from yákṣma the waters; just as joy to one who thirsts, [be] they for thee healers of dislocation.
