चतुर्दशान्ये महिमानो अस्य तं धीरा वाचा प्र णयन्ति सप्त । आप्नानं तीर्थं क इह प्र वोचद्येन पथा प्रपिबन्ते सुतस्य ॥

catúrdaśā́nye mahimā́no asya táṃ dhī́rā vācā́ prá ṇayanti saptá | ā́pnānaṃ tī́rthaṃ ká ihá prá vocad yéna pathā́ prá-pibante sutásya ||

ความยิ่งใหญ่ที่ไกลออกไปของสิ่งนี้มีสิบสี่ประการ ฤษีผู้มั่นคงนำมันไปข้างหน้าด้วยวาจา—Vāc—ให้เป็นเจ็ด ใครเล่าที่นี่จะประกาศท่าข้ามอันเข้าถึงได้ และหนทางซึ่งเขาทั้งหลายดื่มลึกซึ้งจากโสมะ (Soma) ที่คั้นแล้ว?
