Mantra 32

Sukta 10

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

सोममेनामेके दुह्रे घृतमेक उपासते । य एवं विदुषे वशां ददुस्ते गतास्त्रिदिवं दिवः

IAST Transliteration

sómaṁ enā́m éke duhre ghṛtám éka upā́sate | yá eváṁ vidúṣe vaśā́ṁ dadús té gatā́s tridiváṁ diváḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Some milk her for Soma; some, again, attend her with ghee. They who, thus, have given the Vashā to the man of knowledge—those have gone unto the threefold heaven of the sky.

Translation

Les uns la traitent pour Soma ; les autres, à leur tour, la servent avec du ghee. Ceux qui, ainsi, ont donné la Vashā à l’homme de connaissance — ceux-là sont allés au triple ciel du ciel.
