भर॒द्यदि॒ विरतो॒ वेवि॑जानः प॒थोरुणा॒ मनो॑जवा असर्जि । तूयं॑ ययौ॒ मधु॑ना सो॒म्येनो॒त श्रवो॑ विविदे श्ये॒नो अत्र॑
bharadyadi virato vevijānaḥ pathoruṇā manojavā asarji tūyaṃ yayau madhunā somyenota śravo vivide śyeno atra
When the noble one restrained, the wise stirred the red way and formed a youthful mind. You who went with honey to Soma’s place—hear the falcon’s clanguar here.
When the bird, intimidating (its guardians), carried off from hence (the Soma) it was at large; (flying) swift as thought along the vast path (of the firmament), it went rapidly with the sweet Soma, and the hawks thence acquired the celebrity in this world.
When the Bird brought it, hence in rapid motion sent on the wide path fleet as thought he hurried. Swift he returned with sweetness of the Soma, and hence the Falcon hath acquired his glory.
