Transliteration

áva caṣṭa ṛcī́ṣamo’vatā́ṃ iva mā́nuṣaḥ | juṣṭvī́ dákṣasya somínaḥ sákhāyaṃ kṛṇute yújaṃ bhadrā́ índrasya rātáyaḥ ||

Translation

Mądry w hymnach spogląda w dół jak ten, który posiada środki, człowiek wśród ludzi. Znalazłszy upodobanie w zręczności, ofiarujący Somę czyni Indrę towarzyszem i zaprzężonym sprzymierzeńcem. Pomyślne są dary Indry.
