यदीद॒हं यु॒धये॑ सं॒नया॒न्यदे॑वयून्त॒न्वा॒३॒॑ शूशु॑जानान् । अ॒मा ते॒ तुम्रं॑ वृष॒भं प॑चानि ती॒व्रं सु॒तं प॑ञ्चद॒शं नि षि॑ञ्चम्
yadīdahaṃ yudhaye saṃnayānyadevayūntanvā3 śūśujānān amā te tumraṃ vṛṣabhaṃ pacāni tīvraṃ sutaṃ pañcadaśaṃ ni ṣiñcam
If I had fought among men, I would have slain the hostile, tearing the close ranks of the shooṣajānas. I would have pierced for you the tawny bull, cut its intense sinew, and sprinkled fifteen drops.
If I encounter in combat the undevout, resplendent in their bodies, then will I cook a vigorous bull forthem, and will sprinkle (upon the fire) the exhilarating Soma the fifteen-fold (Soma).
Then Will I, when I lead my friends to battle against the radiant persons of the godless, Prepare for thee at home a vigorous bullock, and pour for thee the fifteen-fold strong juices.
