हंसा इव कृणुथ श्लोकमद्रिभिर्मदन्तो गीर्भिरध्वरे सुते सचा । देवेभिर्विप्रा ऋषयो नृचक्षसो वि पिबध्वं कुशिकाः सोम्यं मधु ॥

haṃsā́ iva kṛṇutha ślókám ádri-bhir mádanto gī́rbhir adhvaré suté sacā́ | devébhir viprā ṛ́ṣayo nṛcákṣaso ví pibadhvaṃ kuśikāḥ sómyaṃ mádhu ||

હંસોની જેમ તમે સ્વચ્છ શ્લોક (સ્તુતિ-ગાન) રચો; અદ્રિ (સોમપિષણ-પથ્થરો) અને ગીરો (સ્તુતિઓ)થી મદમત્ત બની, સોમ સુત થતો હોય તે અધ્વર યજ્ઞમાં સાથે રહો. હે વિપ્રો, ઋષિઓ, નૃચક્ષસો—દેવો સાથે, હે કુશિકાઓ, મધુર સોમ્ય મધુને પૂરતું પીવો.
