Transliteration

eté sómā abhí gavyā́ sahásrā mahé vājā́yāmṛ́tāya śrávāṃsi | pavítrebhíḥ pavamānā asṛgran śravasyávo ná pṛtanā́jo átyāḥ ||

Translation

Soma-soma ini mara menuju sinar seribu-lipat, menuju kelimpahan besar tenaga, menuju keabadian dan menuju daya-daya pendengaran ilham. Dengan menyucikan diri melalui penapis-penapis, mereka mengalir keluar—mencari kemasyhuran bercahaya laksana penyerbu perang, kuda-kuda pantas.
