The divine clans, rich in milk, thou spreadest forth: thee they call Indra, thee Sarasvant. A thousand, from one mouth, he bestows—he who, a Brahman, offers the bull.
As estirpes divinas, ricas em leite, tu as estendes; a ti chamam Indra, a ti Sarasvant. Mil—de uma só boca—concede aquele que, sendo brâmane, oferece o touro.
