Chandas: Likely Gāyatrī (shorter cadence; verify per edition).

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

प्र वो ग्रावाणः सविता देवः सुवतु धर्मणा । धूर्षु युज्यध्वं सुनुत ॥

Transliteration

prá vo grāvāṇaḥ savitā deváḥ suvatu dhármaṇā | dhū́rṣu yujyadhvaṃ sunutá ||

Translation

จงก้าวไปเถิด โอ้ศิลาบีบคั้นทั้งหลาย; ขอให้สวิตฤ (Savitṛ) เทวะผู้ผลักดันอันศักดิ์สิทธิ์ ขับเคลื่อนพวกท่านด้วยธรรมะ (dharma) อันชอบธรรม. จงเทียมตนเข้ากับแท่นบีบคั้น; จงบีบโสมะ (Soma) ออกมา—กลั่นหยดความรื่นรมย์ที่หล่อเลี้ยงการไต่สูงภายใน.
