viśve asyā vyuṣi māhināyāḥ saṃ yadgobhiraṅgiraso navanta utsa āsāṃ parame sadhastha ṛtasya pathā saramā vidadgāḥ
All these in the wide expanse of the month, the kine-bearing Angirases numbered nine. They set apart highest seats; the shepherds knew the paths of order and gave them to the cows.
When all the Aṅgirasas, on the opening of this adorable dawn, came in contact with the (discovered) cattle, then milk and the rest were offered in the august assembly, for Saramā had found cows by the path of truth.
When at the dawning of this mighty Goddess, Angirases all sang forth with the cattle,- Their spring is in the loftiest place of meeting,-Sarama found the kine by Order's pathway.
