Transliteration

úpo matíḥ pṛ́cyate sicyate mádhu mandrā́janī codate antárā́sani | pávamānaḥ santaníḥ prághnatām-iva mádhumān drápsaḥ pári vā́ram arṣati ||

Translation

Fikiran mendekat lalu berpadu; ia direndam dalam madu. Kelahiran yang membawa kegembiraan menggerakkannya di dalam singgasana wujud. Soma yang menyucikan, benang yang berterusan, laksana pemukul halangan—titisan yang kaya madu mengalir mengelilingi jaring penapis dan terus melintas.
