Translation

వృషన్, ఋజీపిన్! బలవంతుడైన సోమ-పీడకుడు నీకోసం వృషభసమంగా బలమైన సోమాన్ని పిండుగాక. బలవంతుడా, సూటిగా నడిపేవాడా! రా—దానిని తీసుకురా. ఎందుకంటే వృషభసమంగా బలమైన సోమం ప్రవాహంలోకి దింపబడుతోంది—నదుల్లో వృషభసమంగా బలమైన ధారగా—నీ కోసం రెండు హరి (తామ్రవర్ణ శక్తులు/అశ్వాలు) తమ స్థానాన్ని అధిష్ఠించునట్లు.
