Like a maiden I shall carry it — I have sprinkled the libation with clarified butter. Where Soma is poured, where the sacrifice’s stream of ghee flows, there they are purified.

I contemplate these streams of Ghī as they flow from where the Soma is effused, where the sacrifice (is solemnized), as maidens decorating themselves with unguents to go to the bridegroom.

As maidens dock themselves with gay adornment to join the bridal feast, I now behold them. Where Soma flows and sacrifice is ready, thither the streams of holy oil are running.
