Sanskrit (Devanagari)
तां वां धेनुं न वासरीम अंशुं दुहन्त्य अद्रिभिः सोमं दुहन्त्य अद्रिभिः | अस्मत्रा गन्तम उप नो ऽरवाञ्चा सोमपीतये | अयं वाम मित्रावरुणा नर्भिः सुतः सोम आ पीतये सुतः
IAST Romanisation
tāṃ vāṃ dhenuṃ na vāsarīm aṃśuṃ duhanty adribhiḥ somaṃ duhanty adribhiḥ | asmatrā ghantam upa no 'rvāñcā somapītaye | ayaṃ vām mitrāvaruṇā nṛbhiḥ sutaḥ soma ā pītaye sutaḥ
English Translation (Griffith)
As ’twere a radiant-coloured cow, they milk with stones the stalk for you, with stones they milk the Soma-plant. May ye come nigh us, may ye turn hither to drink the Soma juice. The men pressed out this juice, Mitra and Varuṇa, pressed out this Soma for your drink.
