Whose are the kine, the bulls, the oxen; for whom the strains are meted out—to the winner of the heavenly light; for whom the bright Soma floweth, adorned with holy prayer: let him release us from affliction and from sin.
Wessen sind die Kühe, die Stiere, die Ochsen; für wen die Gesänge zugemessen werden—dem Gewinner des Himmelslichts; für wen der helle Soma fließt, geschmückt mit heiligem Gebet (brahman): der löse uns von Bedrängnis und von Sünde.
