Translation

Sebab pemerasan itulah yang sungguh membuka Perairan, sebagaimana dahulu ia menyediakan bagi Manu suatu jalan untuk dilalui. Di ranah yang kaya-sapi (go-arṇas), dalam tatanan buatan Tvaṣṭṛ, yang disinari-kuda, mereka mengarahkan yajña-yajña maju dalam upacara-upacara: demikianlah semoga persembahan benar kami membuka perairan batin dan mencipta jalan bagi manusia.
