ime mā pītā yaśasa uruṣyavo rathaṃ na ghāvaḥ samanāhaparvasu | te mā rakṣantu visrasaścaritrāduta mā srāmādyavayantvindavaḥ

These glorious drops that give me freedom have I drunk. Closely they knit my joints as straps secure a car. Let them protect my foot from slipping on the way: yea, let the drops I drink preserve me from disease.
