That, indeed, O Singer, for us they have received; that, moreover, O Singer, for us they have received. Not other than the days be our discernments; not other than sacrifice—may we be cattle-foremost.
हे गायक, वो चीज़ हमने पा ली है। हाँ, वो चीज़ हमने पा ली है। दिन के साथ साथ हमारी सोच भी चलती रहे। यज्ञ के साथ साथ हमारे पास पशु भी आते रहें।
