adribhiḥ sutaḥ pavate gabhastyorvṛṣāyate nabhasā vepate matī sa modate nasate sādhate girā nenikte apsu yajate parīmaṇi
With mountains he sings, the hollow one moves. The belly of the two bulls churns; the mind quivers in the sky. He rejoices, he strengthens; the speech placed in waters is worshipped like a pearl.
Expressed with the stones by the hands (the Soma) flows; he moves like a bull; (worshipped) with praise he wanders through the firmament; he rejoices, he is embraced; (praised) with a hymn he fulfills (the desire of the worshippers), he is cleansed in the waters, he is honoured at the (god) protected (sacrifice).
Onward he flows, from both the hands, pressed out with stones: excited by the prayer, the water makes him wild. He frolics and draws near, completes his work with song, and bathes in streams to satisfy the worshipper.
