यद॒न्यासु॑ वृष॒भो रोर॑वीति॒ सो अ॒न्यस्मि॑न्यू॒थे नि द॑धाति॒ रेतः॑ । स हि क्षपा॑वा॒न्स भगः॒ स राजा॑ म॒हद्दे॒वाना॑मसुर॒त्वमेक॑म्
yadanyāsu vṛṣabho roravīti so anyasminyūthe ni dadhāti retaḥ sa hi kṣapāvānsa bhagaḥ sa rājā mahaddevānāmasuratvamekam
When the bull lowed among others, he placed seed into another’s womb. He indeed is the generous herdsman, the lord, the king — greatness of gods and men alone.
When the showerer roars in other (regions) he sends down the rain upon a different herd, for he is the victor, the auspicious, the sovereign; great and unequalled is the might of the gods.
What time the Bull bellows in other regions, another herd receives the genial moisture; For he is Bhaga, King, the earth's Protector. Great is the Gods' supreme and sole dominion.
