Transliteration

nū́ nás tvaṃ rathiró deva soma pári srava camvóḥ pūyámānaḥ | apsú svādiṣṭhó mádhumāṃ ṛtā́vā devó ná yáḥ savitā́ satyá-manmā ||

Translation

Kini, bagi kami, wahai Soma ilahi yang bergerak laksana rata, mengalirlah mengelilingi ke dalam cawan-cawan, sambil menyucikan dirimu. Dalam perairan engkau paling manis, sarat kemanisan madu, penegak Ṛta; seperti Savitṛ, dewa yang berniat benar, engkau membangkitkan dalam diri kami akal-kebenaran.
