Sukta 125
कु॒विद॒ङ्ग यव॑मन्तो॒ यवं॑ चि॒द् यथा॒ दान्त्य॑नुपू॒र्वं वि॒यूय॑ । इ॒हेहै॑षां कृणुहि॒ भोज॑नानि॒ ये ब॒र्हिषो॒ नमो॑वृक्तिं॒ न ज॒ग्मुः
kúvid áṅga yávamanto yávaṃ cid yáthā dā́nti anupūrváṃ viyū́ya | ihéháiṣāṃ kṛṇuhi bhójanāni yé barhíṣo námo-vṛktiṃ ná jagmúḥ
May it be, pray, that the barley-wealthy, even barley itself, give in ordered course, in portions. Here—here—do thou prepare for these their banquets, who have not attained the due observance of homage at the sacred grass.
Ojalá sea así, te lo ruego: que los ricos en cebada — incluso la propia cebada — se repartan en orden, por porciones, una tras otra. Aquí, aquí, prepárales sus banquetes, a los que no han alcanzado la debida observancia del homenaje sobre la hierba sagrada barhis.
