Sanskrit Original
ग्र॒न्थिं न वि ष्य॑ ग्रथि॒तं पु॑ना॒न ऋ॒जुं च॑ गा॒तुं वृ॑जि॒नं च॑ सोम । अत्यो॒ न क्र॑दो॒ हरि॒रा सृ॑जा॒नो मर्यो॑ देव धन्व प॒स्त्या॑वान्
granthiṃ na vi ṣya grathitaṃ punāna ṛjuṃ ca gātuṃ vṛjinaṃ ca soma atyo na krado harirā sṛjāno maryo deva dhanva pastyāvān
Do not bind the knot; make straight the path again, O Soma, and let the strong be freed. Hari’s hand did not create harm; the mortal archer gave gifts born of the gods.
(Soma), when filtered loose (me) bound (by sin) as (one loose) a knot; (grant me) a straight path and strength. You, green-tinted, neigh like a horse (when you are) let loose; proceed divine (Soma) who are friendly to man, and have a dwelling.
Part, like a knotted tangle, while they cleanse thee, O Soma, righteous and unrighteous conduct. Neigh like a tawny courser who is loosened, come like a youth, O God, a house-possessor.
