1. Let them (both) go up toward the sun, thy heart-burn (-dyota) and yellowness; with the color of the red bull, with that we enclose (pari-dhā) thee.

2. With red colors we enclose thee, in order to length of life; that this man may be free from complaints (-rápas), also may become not yellow.

3. They that have the red one for divinity, and the kine that are red—form after form, vigor (váyas) after vigor, with them we enclose thee.

4. In the parrots, in the ropaṇā́kās, we put thy yellowness; likewise in the hā́ridravas we deposit thy yellowness.
