drapsaścaskanda prathamām̐ anu dyūnimaṃ ca yonimanu yaśca pūrvaḥ samānaṃ yonimanu saṃcarantaṃ drapsaṃ juhomyanu sapta hotrāḥ
Drapsa and Skanda first made the movable and the fixed wombs; alike moving in the womb they, seven priests, offer the Drapsa oblation.
The Soma has risen to the earthly and heavenly (worlds), both this visible world, and that which(existed) before (it); I offer that Soma flowing through the common region (of heaven and earth) after the sacrifice(offered by the) seven (officiating priests).
Through days of earliest date the Drop descended on this place and on that which was before it.
