Translation

Para vosotros dos se ha preparado el éxtasis de Soma, de amplio fluir; se ha extendido el asiento del sacrificio, el más apto para vuestra venida auspiciosa. Con las manos alzadas, el alma que busca unión se ha inclinado ante vosotros; y las piedras de prensar, al alcanzaros, ungen y vivifican la dulzura.
