इ॒मौ दे॒वौ जाय॑मानौ जुषन्ते॒मौ तमां॑सि गूहता॒मजु॑ष्टा । आ॒भ्यामिन्द्रः॑ प॒क्वमा॒मास्व॒न्तः सो॑मापू॒षभ्यां॑ जनदु॒स्रिया॑सु
imau devau jāyamānau juṣantemau tamāṃsi gūhatāmajuṣṭā ābhyāmindraḥ pakvamāmāsvantaḥ somāpūṣabhyāṃ janadusriyāsu
These two gods, being born, enjoy; these two cut the flesh, hidden, yoked together. From them Indra filled the ripened ones; to Soma-Pooshana be the peoples' strength.
(The gods) propitiate these two divinities at the moment of the ir birth, for they drive away the disagreeable glooms; with these two, Soma and Pūṣaṇ, Indra genitive rates the mature (milk) in the immature heifers.
At birth of these two Gods all Gods are joyful: they have caused darkness, which we hate, to vanish. With these, with Soma and with Pusan, India generates ripe warm milk in the raw milch-cows.
