yā gaurvartaniṃ paryeti niṣkṛtaṃ payo duhānā vratanīravārataḥ sā prabruvāṇā varuṇāya dāśuṣe devebhyo dāśaddhaviṣā vivasvate
She who turns the milking of kine, drawn forth the milk from the cows by duty, spoke, desirous for Varuṇa the giver: “To the gods I give tenfold offerings to the bright one Vivasvat.”
May that cow, the leader of the rite, which yielding her milk proceeds uncalled to the consecratedplace (of sacrifice), may she, propitiated by me, yield her milk to (me), the offerer of oblations to liberal Varuṇaand the (other) gods.
The cow who yielding milk goes her appointed way hither to us as leader of holy rites, Speaking aloud to Varuna and the worshipper, shall with oblation serve Vivasvan and the Gods.
