इमौ देवौ जायमानौ जुषन्तेमौ तमांसि गूहतामजुष्टा | आभ्यामिन्द्रः पक्वमामास्वन्तः सोमापूषभ्यां जनदुस्रियासु

imau devau jāyamānau juṣantemau tamāṃsi ghūhatāmajuṣṭā | ābhyāmindraḥ pakvamāmāsvantaḥ somāpūṣabhyāṃ janadusriyāsu

At birth of these two Gods all Gods are joyful: they have caused darkness, which we hate, to vanish. With these, with Soma and with Pūṣan, India generates ripe warm milk in the raw milch-cows.
