kánikradat kalaśé góbhir ajyase ví avyáyaṃ samayā́ vā́ram arṣasi | marmṛ́jyamāno átyo ná sānásir índrasya soma jaṭháre sám akṣaraḥ ||

Translation

Soma ras pyaale mein awaaz kar raha hai. Woh go-bhakt logon ke haathon se taiyaar ho raha hai. Sahi waqt par woh chhentein se guzar ke bahar aa raha hai. Jaise tez ghoda race jeetne ke liye taiyaar hota hai, waise hi Soma saaf hoke Indra ke pet mein ja raha hai.
