1. Kindled, O ye two bulls, is Agni, the charioteer of heaven; heated is the gharmá; honey is milked for your food (íṣ); for we singers (kārú), of many houses, call on you, O Açvins, in joint revelings.

2. Kindled is Agni, O ye Açvins; heated is your gharmá; come! now, ye bulls, the milch-kine are milked here, ye wondrous ones (dasrá)-, the pious ones are reveling.

3. The bright (çúci) sacrifice to the gods accompanied with "hail," the Açvins' bowl that is for the gods to drink of—this all the immortals, enjoying, lick respectively by the Gandharva's mouth.

4. The offered ghee, the milk, which is in the ruddy [kine], that is your portion here, ye Açvins; come; ye sweet ones, maintainers of the council (vidátha), lords of the good, drink ye the heated gharmá in the shining space of the sky.
