     प्र सोमस्य पवमानस्योर्मय इन्द्रस्य यन्ति जठरं सुपेशसः ।
     दध्ना यदीमुन्नीता यशसा गवां दानाय शूरमुदमन्दिषुः सुताः ॥

     pra somasya pavamānasyormaya indrasya yanti jaṭharaṃ supeśasaḥ.
     dadhnā yadīmunnītā yaśasā gavāṃ dānāya śūramudamandiṣuḥ sutāḥ.

     The beauteously adorned waves of Soma move onward to Indra's throat, as he purifies himself,
     When they, brought forward with the lovely curd of kine, effused, have cheered the Hero to bestow his gifts.
