हरिम् मृजन्त्य् अरुषो न युज्यते सꣳ धेनुभिः कलशे सोमो अज्यते । उद् वाचम् ईरयति हिन्वते मती पुरुष्टुतस्य कति चित् परिप्रियः

harim mṛjanty aruṣo na yujyate saṁ dhenubhiḥ kalaśe somo ajyate | ud vācam īrayati hinvate matī puruṣṭutasya kati cit paripriyaḥ

They groom the tawny one; like a ruddy (horse) he is yoked; Soma is anointed together with the milk-cows in the jar. He raises up speech; with their thought they urge (him) on—the many intimates of the much-praised one.
