With Soma filled thou holdest the jar: Tvaṣṭṛ, begetter of forms, begetter of cattle. Auspicious be thy generative powers here—both these that are present; and, O well-edged (Svadhiti), grant us those that are yonder.

Lleno de Soma sostienes la vasija; Tvaṣṭṛ, engendrador de las formas, engendrador del ganado. Sean propicias aquí tus fuerzas generadoras — estas que están presentes; y aquellas de allá, oh Svadhiti de filo agudo, concédenoslas.
