Transliteration

ádribhiḥ sutáḥ pavate gábhastyor vṛṣā́yate nábhasā vépate matī́ | sá modate násate sā́dhate girā́ nénikte apsú yájate parī́maṇi ||

Translation

Pressé par les pierres, il s’écoule dans les mains qui saisissent; il devient taureau de puissance, et par l’immensité il fait frémir la pensée vers l’éveil. Il se réjouit, s’approche et accomplit par la parole inspirée; lavé dans les eaux, il offre l’adoration dans la perfection qui enveloppe.
