Transliteration

ubhayatáḥ pávamānasya raśmáyo dhruvásya satáḥ pári yanti ketávaḥ | yadī pavítre ádhi mṛ́jyate háriḥ sattā́ ní yonā kalaśéṣu sīdati ||

Translation

Di kedua sisi, sinar-sinar Soma yang memurnikan diri—teguh dalam Yang Nyata—beredar sebagai tanda-tanda bercahaya. Ketika yang keemasan itu dibersihkan di atas saringan, maka, mengambil singgasana sejatinya, ia bersemayam ke dalam rahim-rahimnya, yakni cawan-cawan yang menerima dan menampung kenikmatan yang telah dijernihkan.
