Transliteration
ā naḥ stómam úpa drávad dhiyānáḥ áśvo na sotṛ́bhiḥ | yáṃ te svadhāvans svadáyanti dhenáva índra káṇveṣu rātáyaḥ ||
Translation
विचार से प्रेरित होकर हमारे स्तोत्र की ओर दौड़ आ—जैसे घोड़ा सोम-निचोड़ने वालों के साथ दौड़ता है। हे स्वधावान् इन्द्र, तेरे लिए धेनुएँ उसे मधुर बनाती हैं—कण्वों में जाग उठने वाले दान।
