Cows are Bhaga; cows—Indra—may desire me; cows are the foremost portion of Soma. These cows which (are mine to win)—he is Indra among men: Indra I desire, with heart, with mind—yea, Indra.
গাভীসকলেই ভগ; গাভীসকল—ইন্দ্ৰ—মোক কামনা কৰক। গাভীসকল সোমৰ প্ৰথম ভাগ (ভক্ষ্য)। এই গাভীসকল (যি মোৰ লাভ কৰিবলগীয়া)—সেইজন মানুহৰ মাজত ইন্দ্ৰ; মই হৃদয়ে, মনে—হঁয়, ইন্দ্ৰকেই কামনা কৰোঁ।
