Transliteration

sammiśló aruṣó bhava sūpasthā́bhir ná dhenúbhiḥ | sī́dañ chyénो ná yónim ā́ ||

Translation

Vuélvete plenamente mezclado y resplandeciente, oh Soma, como si estuvieras con potencias nutricias bien asentadas, como vacas en torno al establo; siéntate en tu propio seno natal, como el halcón veloz (śyena) se posa en su nido — entra en el asiento fundado del Ṛta (la Verdad) dentro de nosotros.
