'The stalk has been pressed for exhilaration'—in 'has been pressed' is the form of the Sīmans. / 'Skillful in the waters, mountain-dwelling, / like a falcon he has settled in the womb; / the bright sap, welcome to the gods, washed in the waters, pressed by men'—thus they contain [the word] 'water', / for this day belongs to the waters. / 'The cows sweeten [it] with their milk; / then they adorn him for immortality like a runner, a horse'—thus they contain [the word] 'cow' and contain [the word] 'cattle', to secure cattle, / for this day belongs to cattle. / 'The sap of sweetness in joint exhilaration'—thus they contain [the word] 'exhilaration'. / Exhilaration is sap. / This third pressing is, as it were, drained. / So, that these contain [the word] 'exhilaration', they thereby place sap into it; / with this, they swell it.
