mahī́ átra mahinā́ vā́ram ṛṇvatho 'reṇávas túja ā́ sádman dhenávaḥ | sváranti tā́ uparátāti sū́ryam ā́ nímruca uṣásaḥ takvavī́r iva ||

Yahan apni badaai se tum bada darwaza kholte ho. Saaf paani ki dhaaraein aati hain jaise doodh dene wali gaayen. Woh upar suraj ki taraf awaaz karte hain. Aur subah ki roshni neeche aati hai jaise tez udne wale pakshi.
