Transliteration

svā́vṛk devásyāmṛ́taṃ yadī́ góra tó jātā́so dhārayanta urvī́ | víśve devā́ ánu tát te yájur gur duhè yád enī́ divyáṃ ghṛtáṃ vā́ḥ ||

Translation

ഗോ-മൂലത്തിൽ നിന്നു ജനിച്ച വിശാലങ്ങൾ (ഉർവീ) ദേവന്റെ അമൃതത്വം ധരിക്കുമ്പോൾ, അപ്പോൾ എല്ലാ ദേവന്മാരും നിന്റെ യജുഃ (യജുർമന്ത്രം) പിന്തുടരുന്നു. രണ്ടു പ്രകാശമുള്ളവയിൽ നിന്ന് (ഏനീ), പാൽ കറക്കുന്നതുപോലെ, ദിവ്യഘൃതം അവർ ദോഹിക്കുന്നു.
