ví jayuṣā́ rathyā yātam ádrim śrutáṃ hávaṃ vṛṣaṇā vadhri-matyā́ḥ | daśasyántā śayáve pipyathur gā́m íti cyavānā́ su-matíṃ bhuraṇyū́ ||

Translation

Mit sieghafter Schnelligkeit auf eurer Wagenbahn kommt zum Pressstein, den Ruf vernehmend, o Mächtigen, von der bedrängten Frau. Dem daliegenden Leidenden dienend, ließet ihr die Kuh (den Lichtstrahl) anschwellen und hervorquellen; so setztet ihr rechte Einsicht und den schnellen Auftrieb in Bewegung.
