AV 1 12.1
जरायुजः प्रथम उस्रियो वृषा वाताभ्रजा स्तनयन्न् एति वृष्ट्या । स नो मृडाति तन्व ऋजुगो रुजन् य एकम् ओजस् त्रेधा विचक्रमे

Born of the placenta, the first, the ruddy bull, born of wind and cloud, comes thundering with rain. May he be gracious to our body, he who, going straight, breaks (things), who, being a single force, strode apart threefold.

Born from the womb, brought forth from wind and from the cloud, the first red bull comes onward thundering with the rain. Our bodies may he spare who, cleaving, goes straight on; he who, a single force, divides himself in three.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
