prá párvatānām uśatī́ upásthād áśve iva víṣite hāsámāne | gā́veva śubhré mā́tarā rihāṇé vipā́ṭ chūtudrī́ páyasā javete ||
Translation
Из лона гор две желанные вырываются вперёд, смеясь, как необузданные кобылицы. Как светлые матери, как коровы, лижущие телёнка, Випāṭ и Шутудрī стремительно бегут, полные питательного молока — потоков, что поддерживают жизнь.
