Fresh English translation

In her lunar nature she brings forth herbs and takes the form of wish-fulfilling trees, flowers, fruits, vines, and shrubs. She is medicine and healing, and her form is nectar. She grants the gods the fruit of great praise and satisfies them with nectar, animals with food and grass, and every living kind with its proper nourishment.
