1 Here present this sap flies, like a bird upon her wings,

To settle in the vats of wood.

2 This sap, made ready with the hymn, runs swiftly through the winding ways,

Inviolable as it flows.

3 This sap while flowing is adorned, like a bay steed for war, by men

Devout and skilled in holy songs.

4 It, like a warrior going forth with heroes, as it flows along

Is fain to win all precious boons.

5 This sap, as it is flowing on, speeds like a car and gives its gifts:

It lets its voice be heard of all

6 Praised by the sacred bards, it dives into waters, and bestows

Rich gifts upon the worshipper.

7 Away it rushes with its stream, across the regions, into heaven,

And roars as it is flowing on.

8 While flowing, meet for devotion, it hath gone up to heaven across

The regions, irresistible.

9 After the way of ancient time, this sap, pressed out for the righteous,

Flows tawny to the straining-cloth.

10 This sap, of many Holy Laws, engendering strength,

Effused, flows onward in a stream.
