सोषामविन्दत्स स्वः सो अग्निं सो अर्केण वि बबाधे तमांसि । बृहस्पतिर्गोवपुषो वलस्य निर्मज्जानं न पर्वणो जभार ॥

sóṣām avindat sá svàr sá agníṃ sá arkéṇa ví babādhe támāṃsi | bṛ́haspátir gó-vapuṣo valásya nír-majjānaṃ ná párvaṇo jabhāra ||

Ia menemukan Fajar; ia menemukan Langit yang bercahaya; ia menemukan Api. Dengan kidung pencerahan ia menghancurkan kegelapan-kegelapan. Bṛhaspati menarik keluar dari Vala—yang tubuhnya tersusun dari ‘sapi-sapi’—seperti orang menarik sumsum dari sendi.
