सोमः पुनान ऊर्मिणाव्यं वारं वि धावति । अग्रे वाचः पवमानः कनिक्रदत्

somaḥ punāna ūrmiṇāvyaṃ vāraṃ vi dhāvati | agre vācaḥ pavamānaḥ kanikradat

Soma, being purified, runs with his wave through the sheep's fleece; at the forefront of speech the self-purifying one roars again and again.

Soma, while filtered, with his wave flows through the long wool of the sheep, Roaring, while purified, before the voice of song.
