Hither I call this well-yielding milch-cow: with skilful hands the cow-milker milketh her. Savitar hath impelled for us the best impulsion; verily the Gharma, kindled and set thereto, proclaimeth that straightway.
Ke mari aku menyeru lembu perah ini yang banyak susunya; dengan tangan yang mahir si pemerah lembu memerahnya. Savitar telah menggerakkan bagi kami dorongan yang terbaik; sesungguhnya Gharma, yang dinyalakan dan ditegakkan padanya, segera mengisytiharkannya.
