Sanskrit Original
श्ये॒नो न योनिं॒ सद॑नं धि॒या कृ॒तं हि॑र॒ण्यय॑मा॒सदं॑ दे॒व एष॑ति । ए रि॑णन्ति ब॒र्हिषि॑ प्रि॒यं गि॒राश्वो॒ न दे॒वाँ अप्ये॑ति य॒ज्ञियः॑
śyeno na yoniṃ sadanaṃ dhiyā kṛtaṃ hiraṇyayamāsadaṃ deva eṣati e riṇanti barhiṣi priyaṃ girāśvo na devām̐ apyeti yajñiyaḥ
The hawk did not find the birth-place; wisdom made the bright one in gold-hued feast, this god arrived. They call him in the ritual, the mountain-horse loves the pleasing song; the sacrificer goes to the gods.
The shining (Soma) approaches the golden seat the station constructed by his holy rites, as a falcon (approaches) his nest; (the worshippers) send the well-beloved by their praise to the sacred grass; the adorable Soma proceeds to the gods like a horse.
Like as a falcon to his home, so speeds the God to his own golden wisely-tashioned place to rest. With song they urge the darling to the sacred grass: the Holy One goes like a courser to the Gods.
