The Apah Suktam is a sukta from Rig Veda (10.9). O Water, because of your presence, the Atmosphere is so refreshing, and imparts us with vigour and strength; We revere you who gladdens us by your Pure essence. O Water, this auspicious Sap of yours, please share with us; Like a Mother desiring (to share her best possession with her children). O Water, when your invigorating essence goes to one affected by weakness, it enlivens him; O Water, you are the source of our lives. O Water, may the auspicious divinity which is wished for be present in you when we drink (water); May the auspiciousness which supports you, flow to us. O Water, may the divinity in Water dwell in the Farm lands; O Water, I implore you to give nutrition (to the crops). O Water, Soma told me that in Water is present all Medicinal Herbs of the World, ... and also Agni (Fire) who brings auspiciousness to the World. O Water, you are abundantly filled with Medicinal Herbs; Please protect my body, ... so that I can see the Sun for long (i.e. I live long). O Water, please wash away whatever wicked tendencies are in me, ... and also wash away the treacheries burning me from within, and any falsehood present in my Mind. O Water, today, to you who is pervaded by fine Rasa (Invigorating Sap) I came; I deeply enter (i.e. bathe) in you who is pervaded by Agni (Fire Principle); May that Agni produce lustre in me. Preserve Nature, And Nature will preserve Us, Plant Trees, And make our planet Green.
