सु॒न्वन्ति॒ सोमं॑ रथि॒रासो॒ अद्र॑यो॒ निर॑स्य॒ रसं॑ ग॒विषो॑ दुहन्ति॒ ते । दु॒हन्त्यूध॑रुप॒सेच॑नाय॒ कं नरो॑ ह॒व्या न म॑र्जयन्त आ॒सभिः॑
sunvanti somaṃ rathirāso adrayo nirasya rasaṃ gaviṣo duhanti te duhantyūdharupasecanāya kaṃ naro havyā na marjayanta āsabhiḥ
They milk Soma, the charioteer-riders, those hilly ones, extracting the juice from kine. They milk it with udders like battle-cloths; which man would not seek to invoke the oblation and not cleanse it with offerings?
The swiftly-moving grinding-stones effuse the Soma, desiring praise, they milk forth Soma; they milkforth for the spinkling (of Agni); the leaders (of rites) purify the oblations with their mouths.
The Stones press out the Soma, swift as car-borne men, and, eager for the spoil, drain forth the sap thereof To fill the beaker, they exhaust the udder's store, as the men purify oblations with their lips.
