víśve asyā́ vyùṣi mā́hināyāḥ sáṃ yád góbhir áṅgiraso návanta | útsa āsāṃ paramé sadhástha ṛtásya pathā́ sarámā vidád gā́ḥ ||
Translation
তার মহৎ উদ্ভাসের এই ব্যুষ্টিতে—যখন অঙ্গিরসরা গাভী/রশ্মির সঙ্গে পেষণ করে কর্ম করে—তখন এ সকল শক্তি একত্রিত হয়। তাদের উৎস পরম সধস্থে; ঋতের পথে সরমা গাভী/রশ্মিগুলিকে আবিষ্কার করে।
