Transliteration

vṛ́ṣā sótā sunotu te vṛ́ṣann ṛjīpin ā́ bhara | vṛ́ṣā dádhanve vṛ́ṣaṇaṃ nadī́ṣv ā́ túbhyaṃ sthātar harīṇām ||

Translation

ขอให้ผู้คั้นผู้ทรงพลังคั้นโสมะ (Soma) อันทรงพลังเพื่อท่าน; โอ้ผู้ทรงพลัง โอ้ผู้ขับตรง จงมาเถิด จงนำมันมา. เพราะโสมะอันทรงพลังถูกเร้าให้เคลื่อนไหว—เป็นกระแสอันทรงพลังในหมู่สายน้ำและแม่น้ำ—เพื่อให้ม้าคู่สีเหลืองอมน้ำตาล (Harī) ของท่านได้เข้าประจำที่.
