दश क्षिपो युञ्जते बाहू अद्रिं सोमस्य या शमितारा सुहस्ता । मध्वो रसं सुगभस्तिर्गिरिष्ठां चनिश्चदद्दुदुहे शुक्रमंशुः ॥

dáśa kṣípo yuñjate bāhū́ ádrim sómasya yā́ śamitā́rā suhástā | mádhvo rásaṃ sugábhastir giriṣṭhā́ṃ cániścadad duduhe śukrám aṃśúḥ ||

Mười kẻ mau lẹ tra tay vào hòn đá ép (adri) để ép Soma—những người nắn chỉnh khéo léo, đôi tay thiện xảo. Từ tinh chất ngọt như mật, đòn ép nắm chắc vắt ra dòng sáng; từ nguồn cất giữ trong núi, nó tuôn chảy rồi lắng vào đúng lối của mình.
