Transliteration

granthíṃ na ví ṣya grathitáṃ punāná ṛjúṃ ca gātúṃ vṛjináṃ ca soma | atyó na kradó hárir ā́ sṛjānáḥ máryo deva dhanva pastyā́-vān ||

Translation

As one loosens a knot, loosen what is entangled while you purify yourself, O Soma; make clear both the straight path and the crooked. Like a neighing stallion, the tawny force is released—run forth, O divine youth, rich in the home of the being.
