गरन्थिं न वि षय गरथितं पुनान रजुं च गातुं वर्जिनं च सोम | अत्यो न करदो हरिरा सर्जानो मर्यो देव धन्व पस्त्यावान

IAST Romanisation

ghranthiṃ na vi ṣya ghrathitaṃ punāna ṛjuṃ ca ghātuṃ vṛjinaṃ ca soma | atyo na krado harirā sṛjāno maryo deva dhanva pastyāvān

English Translation (Griffith)

Part, like a knotted tangle, while they cleanse thee, O Soma, righteous and unrighteous conduct. Neigh like a tawny courser who is loosened, come like a youth, O God, a house-possessor.
