The warmest verse of the hymn. yadā tvam abhivarṣasi — "when you pour down as rain": prāṇa is recognized in the rain too — the water of life descending from the sky; athemāḥ prāṇa te prajāḥ — "these creatures of yours" (te — yours: born of her and living by her) — ānanda-rūpās tiṣṭhanti — "they stand, having themselves become jubilation" (ānanda-rūpa — "having joy for their form": the joy is not in them, they are in the joy, from head to foot).
kāmāyānnaṁ bhaviṣyati — "there will be food at will!": the cry of a farmer's heart at the first drops after the heat. The Upaniṣad is not embarrassed by this simplicity: the husbandman's joy over rain is not "base" beside contemplation — it is a recognition of mercy, the most immediate religion of all: the gratitude of the fed toward the Feeder.
Rain here is the image of all grace: it comes from above, not by the ledger of merit but by the nature of the Giver — and everything alive answers in the only right way: it becomes joy. The Gītā (3.14) will set this rain into the great circle: annād bhavanti bhūtāni parjanyād anna-sambhavaḥ / yajñād bhavati parjanyaḥ — "from food come creatures, from rain food, from sacrifice rain": gratitude that has become sacrifice itself calls down new rain.
