साम॑ द्वि॒बर्हा॒ महि॑ ति॒ग्मभृ॑ष्टिः स॒हस्र॑रेता वृष॒भस्तुवि॑ष्मान् । प॒दं न गोरप॑गूळ्हं विवि॒द्वान॒ग्निर्मह्यं॒ प्रेदु॑ वोचन्मनी॒षाम्
sāma dvibarhā mahi tigmabhṛṣṭiḥ sahasraretā vṛṣabhastuviṣmān padaṃ na gorapagūḷhaṃ vividvānagnirmahyaṃ predu vocanmanīṣām
Soma, twice-flowing, mighty with thick sap and with a thousand seed-threads—the bull raged, stirring. The wise Agni did not let the cattle's firm foothit stumble; he spoke to me of sacred counsels.
May Agni, filling both (the middling and most excellent condition), bright shining, of manifold vigour, the showerer of (benefits), the possessor of affluence, (who comprehends), by (his) wisdom the mysterious sacred hymn, as (they track) the footsteps of a (missing) cow, reveal (the sense) to me.
Sharp-pointed, powerful, strong, of boundless vigour, Agni who knows the lofty hymn, kept secret As the lost milch-cow's track, the doubly Mighty,-he hath declared to me this hidden knowledge.
