prāvīvipadvāca ūrmiṃ na sindhurgiraḥ somaḥ pavamāno manīṣāḥ antaḥ paśyanvṛjanemāvarāṇyā tiṣṭhati vṛṣabho goṣu jānan
He spread the flood like a wave over the flood, Soma the purifier, thoughtful. Within he sees the herds and stands among the desiring ones like a bull, knowing the cows.
The purified Soma excites gratifying praises as a river (excites) the wave of sound; the showerer (of benefits) beholding the hidden (treasure) presides over these irresistible powers, knowing about the cattle.
He, Soma Pavamana, like a river, hath stirred the wave of voice, our songs and praises. Beholding these inferior powers in cattle, he rests among them as a Steer well-knowing.
