They say: ‘These, unknowing, press out honey; they draw forth sweet ripeness. From the branch of the ruddy tree the bulls poured forth; the cows loved and poured milk.’
They speak, they received into their mouth the sweet (Soma), they roar (like the eaters of flesh) overthe roasted meat; chewing the branch of the purplle tree, the voracious bulls have bellowed.
Loudly they speak, for they have found the savoury meath: they make a humming sound over the meat prepared. As they devour the branch of the Red-coloured Tree, these, the well-pastured Bulls, have uttered bellowings.
