Transliteration

úpo matíḥ pṛ́cyate sicyate mádhu mandrā́janī codate antárā́sani | pávamānaḥ santaníḥ prághnatām-iva mádhumān drápsaḥ pári vā́ram arṣati ||

Translation

ความคิดเข้าใกล้และประสานกัน ถูกชโลมด้วยน้ำผึ้ง; กำเนิดอันนำความรื่นรมย์เร่งเร้าอยู่ภายในที่นั่งแห่งภาวะ. โสมะ (Soma) ผู้ชำระให้บริสุทธิ์ เป็นดุจเส้นใยไม่ขาดสาย ดุจผู้ฟาดฟันอุปสรรค; หยดอันอุดมด้วยน้ำผึ้งไหลเวียนรอบตาข่ายที่ล้อมไว้ แล้วไหลต่อไปข้างหน้า.
