सोम उ ष्वाणः सोतृभिरधि ष्णुभिरवीनां । अश्वयेव हरिता याति धारया मन्द्रया याति धारया

soma u ṣvāṇaḥ sotṛbhiradhi ṣṇubhiravīnāṃ | aśvayeva haritā yāti dhārayā mandrayā yāti dhārayā

Soma, being pressed by the pressers upon the surfaces of the sheep's (fleece), goes golden in a stream as with a mare, goes in a gladdening stream.

Pressed out by pressers Soma goes over the fleecy backs of sheep, Goes even as with a mare in tawny-coloured stream, goes in a sweetly-sounding stream.

SV 2 3212.2

अनूपे गोमान्गोभिरक्षाः सोमो दुग्धाभिरक्षाः । समुद्रं न संवरणान्यग्मन्मन्दी मदाय तोशते

anūpe gomāngobhirakṣāḥ somo dugdhābhirakṣāḥ | samudraṃ na saṃvaraṇānyagmanmandī madāya tośate

In the watery place he, rich in cows, has flowed with the cows; Soma has flowed with the milkings; as (rivers to) the sea, they have come to the enclosures; the gladdener gushes forth for the rapture.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Down to the water Soma, rich in kine, bath flowed with cows, with cows that have been milked. They have approached the mixing-vessels as a sea: the cheerer streams for the carouse.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
