सुते अध्वरे अधि वाचमक्रता क्रीळयो न मातरं तुदन्तः । वि षू मुञ्चा सुषुवुषो मनीषां वि वर्तन्तामद्रयश्चायमानाः ॥

suté adhvaré ádhi vā́cam akrata krīḷáyo ná mātáram tudántaḥ | ví ṣū muñca susu-vúṣo manīṣā́ṃ ví vartantām ádrayaś cā́yamānāḥ ||

Beim ausgepressten Opfertrank, im ununterbrochenen Opfer (adhvara), habt ihr darauf die Rede gesetzt – wie Kinder, die spielend die Mutter stoßen. Löst ganz den Gedanken dessen, der gut gepresst hat; mögen die Steine, sich sammelnd und suchend, sich wenden und in ihrem geordneten Umlauf sich bewegen.
