न तस्य॑ विद्म॒ तदु॒ षु प्र वो॑चत॒ युवा॑ ह॒ यद्यु॑व॒त्याः क्षेति॒ योनि॑षु । प्रि॒योस्रि॑यस्य वृष॒भस्य॑ रे॒तिनो॑ गृ॒हं ग॑मेमाश्विना॒ तदु॑श्मसि
na tasya vidma tadu ṣu pra vocata yuvā ha yadyuvatyāḥ kṣeti yoniṣu priyosriyasya vṛṣabhasya retino gṛhaṃ gamemāśvinā taduśmasi
We do not know that which you declared rarely, O youths, about where women are born. For the beloved of the goddess, the bull's seed we bring home—O Ashvins, you are hostile to that.
We do not know this (happiness) of his; do you, (Aśvins), clearly explain how it is that the young(husband) dwells in the bride's house; let us, Aśvins, go the dwelling of (my) dear youthful, vigorous, and manlyhusband; this is our desire.
Of this we have no knowledge. Tall it forth to us, now the youth rests within the chambers of the bride. Fain would we reach the dwelling of the vigorous Steer who loves the kine, O Asvins: this is our desire.
