āpo na devīrupa yanti hotriyamavaḥ paśyanti vitataṃ yathā rajaḥ | prācairdevāsaḥ pra ṇayanti devayuṃ brahmapriyaṃ joṣayante varā iva

The heavenly Waters come not nigh the priestly bowl: they but look down and see how far mid-air is spread: The Deities conduct the pious man to them: like suitors they delight in him who loveth prayer.
