1. Three several words are uttered: kine are lowing cows. who give the milk:
The tawny-hued goes bellowing on.

2. The young and sacred mothers of the holy rite have uttered praise,
Embellishing the Child of Heaven.

3. From every side, O Soma, for our profit, pour thou forth four seas.
Filled full of riches thousandfold!
