अनु त्वा रोदसी उभे चक्रं न वर्त्येतशम् । अनु सुवानास इन्दवः ॥

ánu tvā ródasī ubhé cakráṃ ná vartí etaśám | ánu suvānā́sa índavaḥ ||

Mengikutimu bergerak kedua-duanya, Langit dan Bumi, seperti roda berputar dengan kuda yang pantas; mengikutimu juga titisan-titisan Soma yang diperah—kuasa-kuasa kenikmatan yang berlari dalam iringanmu dan menyuburkan kemenanganmu.
