अपा॑गूहन्न॒मृतां॒ मर्त्ये॑भ्यः कृ॒त्वा सव॑र्णामदधु॒र्विव॑स्वते । उ॒ताश्विना॑वभर॒द् यत् तदासी॒दज॑हादु॒ द्वा मि॑थु॒ना स॑र॒ण्यूः
ápa agūhann amṛtā́ṃ mártyebhyaḥ kṛtvā́ savárṇām adadhur vívasvate | utā́śvināv abharad yát tád āsīd ájahād u dvā́ mithunā́ saraṇyū́ḥ ||
They hid away the Immortal from mortal men; having made a like-formed one they set her for Vivasvant. And what she was, that the Aśvins brought again; Saraṇyū in sooth forsook the twain, the paired.
Sie verbargen die Unsterbliche vor den sterblichen Menschen; nachdem sie eine gleichgestaltige geschaffen hatten, setzten sie sie für Vivasvant ein. Und wie sie war — das brachten die Aśvins wieder herbei; Saraṇyū verließ wahrlich die beiden, das Paar.
