O Parjanya! We call upon thee! Bring forth the rain! The earth is thirsty; the creatures are thirsty; we mortals are thirsty!

Do not delay, O rain-god! Come swiftly with thy blessings! Let thy thunder shake the heavens! Let thy lightning tear open the clouds! Let thy waters fall upon us like a blessing from the gods!

Quicken thy pace, O mighty one! Do not tarry! The fields do wilt; the herds do grow thin; the people grow desperate. We await thy coming with open hearts and uplifted hands.

Come, O Parjanya! Come now!
