Let these speak forth, let us speak forth; speak speech to the pressing-stones, to the speaking ones — when you, O stones, swift mountains, together bear song and roar to Indra, you that hold the soma.

तद् इद् वदन्त्य् अद्रयो विमोचने यामन्न् अञ्जस्पा इव घेद् उपब्दिभिः । वपन्तो बीजम् इव धान्याकृतः पृञ्चन्ति सोमꣳ न मिनन्ति बप्सतः

Just this the stones speak at the unharnessing, on the drive, like drinkers of ointment, with their stamping. Sowing as grain-growers sow seed, they mingle the soma and do not diminish it as they chew.
