Sama Veda — Pūrvārcika, Mantra 1
Pavamāna Soma’s forward-flowing purification and empowering exhilaration within the sacrifice
प्र सोमासो मदच्युतः श्रवसे नो मघोनः सुता विदथे अक्रमुः
pra somāso madacyutaḥ śravase no maghonaḥ sutā vidathe akramuḥ
pra1 somāso2 madacyutaḥ3 śravase1 no2 maghonaḥ3 sutā1 vidathe2 akramuḥ3
索摩（Soma）诸汁啊，倾注醉悦（mada）而不坠（cyuta），为我等之声名（śravas），哦慷慨者（maghavan）；既被压榨（suta），便在祭会（vidatha）中向前迈进。
