When the bird, quivering, carried it away from there, he was sped forth along the broad path, swift as thought; quickly he went with the somic honey, and there the falcon won fame.

Having taken it, the falcon carried off the soma — a thousand and ten thousand pressings at once. There the one of abundant insight left the hostile powers behind, the unbewildered one (leaving) the bewildered, in the exhilaration of soma.
