Transliteration
vṛ́ṣā sótā sunotu te vṛ́ṣann ṛjīpin ā́ bhara | vṛ́ṣā dádhanve vṛ́ṣaṇaṃ nadī́ṣv ā́ túbhyaṃ sthātar harīṇām ||
Translation
Niech mocny wyciskacz wyciśnie dla ciebie potężną Somę; o mocny, o prostujący, przyjdź, przynieś ją. Potężna Soma jest wprawiana w ruch, potężny nurt w rzekach, aby dla ciebie dwie płowe moce zajęły swą stację.
