Like a limb the honey they set in the mast, like a yoke they tied to the low kine. Like a border they wiped away sweat; may forgiveness come from pressed strength and union of truth.
Like two loud-sounding (clouds), you send forth the sweet (Soma); like two bees (you deposit milk) in(the udder of) the cow which has its opening turned downwards; like two labourers you are dripping withperspiration, like a tired cow eating sweet herbage, you attend.
Like toiling bees ye bring to us your honey, as bees into the hide that opens downward.
