‘You have an eye for men, O Soma, on all sides’—‘on all sides’ is the characteristic mark of the Simā verses. / ‘O Pavamāna, O bull, you run through them’—it is a bull, indeed, that they thus introduce into the Mahānāmnī verses at the morning pressing for procreation. / ‘Flow for us, bringing goods and bringing gold’—goods and gold are indeed cattle. / Indeed, they say of one without cattle that he is ‘without gold’. / The Śakvarī verses are cattle. / ‘May we be [here] to live among the worlds’—he thereby speaks a prayer. / ‘Ruler [over them], you traverse these worlds’—‘traverse’ is the characteristic mark of the Simā verses. / ‘Yoking the bay-colored, fine-winged [mares], O drop’—the Śakvarī verses are indeed the bay-colored, fine-winged ones. / They are yoked at this morning pressing; / having been yoked, they ascend at the midday pressing. / ‘Let them flow for you, streaming with sweet ghee’—sweetness is indeed cattle, for they flow with milk, curds, and melted butter. / The Śakvarī verses are cattle. / ‘Let the peoples abide in your service, O Soma’—indeed, this whole universe attends Soma’s service.
