अपो यद अद्रिम पुरुहूत दर्दर आविर भुवत सरमा पूर्व्यं ते | स नो नेता वाजम आ दर्षि भूरिं गोत्रा रुजन्न अङगिरोभिर गर्णानः

apo yad adrim puruhūta dardar āvir bhuvat saramā pūrvyaṃ te | sa no netā vājam ā darṣi bhūriṃ ghotrā rujann aṅghirobhir ghṛṇānaḥ

When, Much-invoked! the water's rock thou cleftest, Saramā showed herself and went before thee. Hymned by Aṅgirases, bursting the cow-stalls, much strength thou foundest for us as our leader.
