ऋक्सामाभ्यामभिहितौ गावौ ते सामनावैताम्। श्रोत्रे ते चक्रे आस्तां दिवि पन्थाश्चराचरः

With Ṛc and Sāman laid upon them, two cows came to thee as two Sāmans. Thy ears were the two wheels; in heaven were the paths—of all that moves and moves not.
Mit Ṛc und Sāman auf sie gelegt kamen zwei Kühe zu dir — als zwei Sāman. Deine Ohren waren die zwei Räder; im Himmel waren die Pfade, die der Bewegten und der Unbewegten.
