धेनूर्जिन्वतमुत जिन्वतं विशो हतं रक्षांसि सेधतममीवाः । सजोषसा उषसा सूर्येण च सोमं सुन्वतो अश्विना ॥

dhenūr jínvatam utá jínvataṃ víśo hatáṃ rákṣāṃsi sédhatam amī́vāḥ | sajóṣasā uṣásā sū́ryeṇa ca sómaṃ sunvató aśvinā ||

Ó Aśvins, nutri a dhenu — as correntes da plenitude — e nutri também as nossas comunidades humanas; abatei as forças que obscurecem e afastai os poderes da enfermidade. Em harmonia com Uṣas e com Sūrya, bebei o Soma daquele que o prensa — entrando no nosso ser com um deleite unificado.
