6.28.1
r̥cā́ kapótaṃ nudata praṇódam íṣaṃ mádantaḥ pári gā́ṃ nayāmaḥ |
saṃlobháyanto duritā́ padā́ni hitvā́ na ū́rjaṃ prá padāt páthiṣṭhaḥ ||1||
With the praise-verse (ṛ́ç) drive ye the dove forth (praṇódam); reveling in food (íṣ) we lead a cow about, breaking up tracks hard to go in; leaving us (our?) sustenance shall it fly forth, swift-flying.
6.28.2
párīmé 'gním arṣata párīmé gā́m aneṣata |
devéṣv akrata śrávaḥ ká imā́m̐ ā́ dadharṣati ||2||
These have taken fire about; these have led the cow about; they have gained themselves fame (çrávas) among the gods—who shall venture to attack them?
6.28.3
yáḥ prathamáḥ pravátam āsasā́da bahúbhyaḥ pánthām anupaspaśānáḥ |
yó 'syéśe dvipádo yáś cátuṣpadas tásmai yamā́ya námo astu mr̥tyáve ||3||
He who first attained (ā-sad) the slope [of heaven], spying out the road for many, who is master of these bipeds, who of the quadrupeds—to that Yama, to death, be homage.
