The mighty womb rejoiced: the bull spawned a calf like a river-swell, a calf like a foam-born youngster. He who as deity stirs up what rises, first conquers amid the wanings.
THe embryo (of heaven and earth), the showerer (of benefits), the glorious, rejoices; the excellentchild (of morn and eve), the celebrator of holy rites calls aloud; assiduous in exertions at the worship of the gods,he moves chief in his own abodes.
The Bull, the youngling with the hump, hath frolicked, the strong and never-ceasing Calf hath bellowed. Bringing our offerings to the God's assembly, he moves as Chief in his own dwelling-places.
