You have made the single ladle fourfold; by your (marvellous) acts you have clothed the cow with a (new) hide; therefore you have obtained immortality among the gods; such acts, Vājas and Ṛbhus, are to be eagerly glorified.
The chalice that wag single ye have made fourfold, and by your wisdom brought the Cow forth from the hide. So quickly, mid the Gods, ye gained immortal life. Vajas and Rbhus, your great work must be extolled.
