prá yám antár vṛṣa-savā́so ágman tīvrā́ḥ sómā bahulā́ntāsa índram | nā́ha dāmā́naṃ maghávā ní yaṃsat ní sunvaté vahati bhū́ri vāmám ||

Translation

Wenn die starken Soma-Pressungen, scharf und reichlich, nach innen zu Indra gelangen, dann hält Maghavan die Gabe nicht zurück; dem Presser trägt er herab reiches, begehrtes Gut — überströmende Fülle.
