ayaṃ so aghniryasmin somamindraḥ sutaṃ dadhe jaṭhare vāvaśānaḥ | sahasriṇaṃ vājamatyaṃ na saptiṃ sasavān san stūyase jātavedaḥ

THIS is that Agni whence the longing Indra took the pressed Soma deep within his body. Winner of spoils in thousands, like a courser, with praise art thou exalted, Jātavedas.
