Transliteration
prá ta āśávaḥ pavamāna dhī-jávo madā́ arṣanti raghujā́ iva tmánā | divyā́ḥ suparṇā́ mádhu-manta índavo madíntamāsaḥ pári kóśam āsate ||
Translation
ಹೇ ಪವಮಾನ ಸೋಮ! ನಿನ್ನ ವೇಗವಂತ ಪ್ರವಾಹಗಳು ಮುಂದೆ ಧಾವಿಸುತ್ತವೆ—ಧೀ (ಪ್ರೇರಿತ ಬುದ್ಧಿ)ಯಿಂದ ಚಲಿತ ಉಲ್ಲಾಸಗಳು—ಸ್ವಶಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಓಟಗಾರರಂತೆ ವೇಗವಾಗಿ ಹರಿಯುತ್ತವೆ. ದಿವ್ಯ, ಸುಪರ್ಣ, ಮಧುಮಯ ಇಂದುಗಳು—ಅತಿಮದಿರ ಆನಂದದಾಯಕ—ಕೋಶ (ಪಾತ್ರ)ದ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ ನೆಲೆಗೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತವೆ.
