हरिं मृजन्त्यरुषो न युज्यते सं धेनुभिः कलशे सोमो अज्यते । उद्वाचमीरयति हिन्वते मती पुरुष्टुतस्य कति चित्परिप्रियः ॥

háriṁ mṛjanti aruṣó ná yujyate sáṁ dhenúbhiḥ kalaśé sómo ajyate | udvā́cam ī́rayati hinváte matī́ puruṣṭutásya káti cit paripriyáḥ ||
Translation
他们洗净那金褐者；如赤金之马，他被套上以赴功业。伴着乳流，他被倾注入壶；苏摩被涂抹、被注入其成就之器。他举起言辞，使思虑奔涌；对那备受颂扬者，他以多种方式成为亲密的爱者。
