Transliteration

bhurántu no yaśásaḥ sótv ándhaso grā́vāṇo vācā́ divítā divítmatā | naro yátra duhate kāmyáṃ mádhv āghóṣayanto abhíto mithaḥ-túraḥ ||

Translation

Que as pedras de prensar derramem para nós uma glória luminosa; que exprimam o suco (Soma) com a palavra — pela potência celeste e pela força que se eleva ao céu. Lá onde os homens fortes ordenham o mel desejado, a doçura melíflua, fazendo-a ressoar por toda parte, competindo juntos num mútuo erguer-se.
