utá prá pipyá ū́dhar aghnyā́yā índur dhā́rābhiḥ sacate su-medhā́ḥ | mūrdhā́naṃ gā́vaḥ páyasā camū́ṣv abhí śrīṇanti vásubhir ná niktáiḥ ||

Translation

Y él hincha la ubre de la Vaca inviolada; Indu, la gota, rica en recta inteligencia, acompaña a las corrientes. Las vacas, en las copas, ungen su cabeza con leche, como con tesoros recién lavados—colmándolo de sustancia y resplandor.
