Salutations to you who are of the form of (sacrificial) priests, who have your senses under control, who are made of the quality of Goodness, and who have also the quality of Darkness. Salutations to you who are of the form of the banks of Rivers, of Rivers themselves, and of the lord of all Rivers (viz., the Ocean).
