इरा॑वतीर्वरुण धे॒नवो॑ वां॒ मधु॑मद्वां॒ सिन्ध॑वो मित्र दुह्रे । त्रय॑स्तस्थुर्वृष॒भास॑स्तिसृ॒णां धि॒षणा॑नां रेतो॒धा वि द्यु॒मन्तः॑
irāvatīrvaruṇa dhenavo vāṃ madhumadvāṃ sindhavo mitra duhre trayastasthurvṛṣabhāsastisṛṇāṃ dhiṣaṇānāṃ retodhā vi dyumantaḥ
Iravati, Varuṇa, cows and you, nourishing rivers, Sindhu and Mitra milked (the bulls). Three stood as bulls, as the reins of three herds—semen-bearing, mighty in brilliance.
Mitra and Varuṇa, the cows are full o fmilk through your (command), and the rivers yield through your (will) sweet water; through you the three radiant receptacles and showerers of rain stand severally in their three spheres.
Ye, Varuna, have kine who yield refreshment; Mitra, your floods pour water full of sweetness. There stand the Three Steers, splendid in their brightness, who fill the three world-bowls with genial moisture.
