áraṃ me gántam hávanāyā́smai gṛṇānā́ yáthā píbātho ándhaḥ | pári ha tyád vartír yā́tho riṣó ná yát páro nā́ntaras tuturyā́t ||

Translation

Vinde de pronto ao meu chamado — para que, enquanto cantamos, bebais a doçura espremida do Soma. Pois percorreis esse curso como proteção contra o dano, para que nem o que está fora nem o que está dentro rompa para ferir.
