What Gods are seated in Heaven, and what in Mid-air, and what, again, are these upon the Earth—to them do thou, for ever, milk forth milk, and ghee, and honey.
Quels dieux siègent au ciel, quels autres dans l’espace intermédiaire, et quels, de nouveau, sont ici sur la terre — à eux, toi, fais couler à jamais le lait, et le ghee (sarpis), et le miel.

Devata: Cow as source of abundance; collectively the gods in the three realms.
