ā yā́tam úpa bhūṣataṃ mádhvaḥ píbataṃ aśvinā | dugdháṃ páyo vṛ́ṣaṇā jényāvasū mā́ no mardhiṣṭam ā́ gatam
Translation
ഹേ അശ്വിനൗ, ഇവിടെ വരുവിൻ; അലങ്കരിച്ച് സമീപിക്കുവിൻ; മധുരരസത്തിന്റെ പാനം ചെയ്വിൻ. ഹേ വൃഷണൗ, ഉത്തമ നിധിയുള്ളവരേ, ദുഗ്ധവും പോഷകമായ പയസ്സും കുടിക്കുവിൻ; ഞങ്ങളെ ഹാനിക്കരുതേ—ഇവിടേക്കു തന്നേ വരുവിൻ.
