A sound from cows is yielded—splendid—into the chariot's yoke of gold; kine-born, noble-born, desire the great arms on our shoulders when they touch.
The voice (of the Maruts) blends with the songs of the Sobharis in the receptacle of their goldenchariot; may the mighty well-born Maruts, the offspring of the (bridled) cow, (be gracious) to us regard of food,enjoyment, and kindness.
The pivot of the Sobharis' chariot within the golden box is balmed with milk. May they the Well-born, Mighty, kindred of the Cow, aid us to food and to delight.
