क॒न्या॒ इव वह॒तुमेत॒वा उ॑ अ॒ञ्ज्य॒ञ्जा॒ना अ॒भि चा॑कशीमि । यत्र॒ सोम॑: सू॒यते॒ यत्र॑ य॒ज्ञो घृ॒तस्य॒ धारा॑ अ॒भि तत्प॑वन्ते
Transliteration
kanyā́ iva vahátum etávā u añjy-añjānā́ abhí cākāśīmi | yátra sómaḥ sūyáte yátra yajñó ghṛtásya dhā́rā abhí tát pavante ||
Translation
Like maidens going to the bridal train, adorning themselves, these I behold. Where Soma is pressed, where the sacrifice is performed—thither the streams of clarified butter flow, yea, thither they purify their course.
