Transliteration
vṛ́ṣā matīnā́ṃ pavate vi-cakṣaṇáḥ sómo áhnaḥ pratarītóṣáso diváḥ | krāṇā síndhūnāṃ kalaśā́n avīvaśad índrasya hā́rdy ā́viśan manīṣíbhiḥ ||
Translation
Как могучий бык вдохновений очищается всевидящий Сома, проходя день, зори и небо. Собирая реки, он гонит их в чаши; входя в сердце Индры, он приходит с прозрёнными разумениями риши.
