English · William Dwight Whitney

Bearing sustenance (ū́rj), good-winning, very wise, with mild friendly eye, I come to the houses, well-willing, greeting; be quiet, be not afraid of me.

English · William Dwight Whitney

These houses [are] kindly, rich in sustenance (ūrjas-), rich in milk, standing filled with what is pleasant; let them recognize us coming.

3
English · William Dwight Whitney

On whom the absent one thinks (adhi-i), in whom is abundant well-willing—the houses we call on; let them recognize us coming.

4
English · William Dwight Whitney

Called on [are] they of much riches, companions, enjoying sweets together; be ye hungerless, thirstless; ye houses, be not afraid of us.

5
English · William Dwight Whitney

Called on here [are] the kine, called on the goats and sheep; likewise [is] the sweet drink of food called on in our houses.

6
English · William Dwight Whitney

Full of pleasantness, well-portioned, full of refreshing drink (írā), merry (hasāmudá), thirstless, hungerless be ye; O houses, be not afraid of us. 6. Be ye just here; go not after; adorn yourselves with all forms; I shall come along with what is excellent; become ye more abundant through me.
