It has a four-syllable finale. Cattle are indeed four-footed, / and cattle are the chandomas, for the securing of cattle. / "Hither indeed, quick-moving, born..."— / thus there are [verses] containing the word "born" (janadvat). / That which contains the word "born" is the characteristic form of the Jagatī; / this day belongs to the Jagatī. / "Prepared with cows, breaking through, / the drop the gods approached; / flow for us, O Soma, as a blessing for the cow; milk out swelling refreshment; / increase the ocean worthy of praise"—thus they contain the word "cow" (gomat) and cattle (paśumat), for the securing of cattle; / for cattle are the chandomas. / "Him let our songs increase"— / for this day, which is forty-eightfold, is increased.
