तं म॑र्मृजा॒नं म॑हि॒षं न साना॑वं॒शुं दु॑हन्त्यु॒क्षणं॑ गिरि॒ष्ठाम् । तं वा॑वशा॒नं म॒तयः॑ सचन्ते त्रि॒तो बि॑भर्ति॒ वरु॑णं समु॒द्रे
taṃ marmṛjānaṃ mahiṣaṃ na sānāvaṃśuṃ duhantyukṣaṇaṃ giriṣṭhām taṃ vāvaśānaṃ matayaḥ sacante trito bibharti varuṇaṃ samudre
They milk the great buffalo, not the low-born kine; the chiefs preserve the mighty one; the people uphold Varuna in the ocean.
(The priests) milk forth the Soma cleansed (dwelling) on a high plural ce like a buffalo, the sprinkler, plural ces between the grinding-stones; praises attend upon the longing Soma; (Indra) who dwells in three abodes supports him, the defeater of enemies, in the firmament.
They drain the stalk, the Steer who dwells on mountains, even as a Bull who decks him on the upland. Hymns follow and attend him as he bellows: Trita bears Varuna aloft in ocean.
