इ॒दं व॑ आपो॒ हृद॑यम॒यं व॒त्स ऋ॑तावरीः । इ॒हेत्थमेत॑ शक्वरी॒र्यत्रे॒दं वे॒शया॑मि वः
idáṃ va ā́po hṛ́dayam ayáṃ vatsá ṛtā́varīḥ | ihéttham éta śakvarī́r yátrédáṃ veśáyāmi vaḥ ||
This, O Waters, is your heart; this is the calf, O ye that bear the Ṛta. Thus, hither—come, ye mighty ones—unto the place where I cause you to be housed.
Ito, O mga Tubig, ang inyong puso; ito ang guya, O kayo na nagbubuhat ng Ṛta. Kaya't pumarito, kayo mga makapangyarihan, sa lugar kung saan ako ay nagpapatahan sa inyo.
