índra āsīt sī́rapatiḥ śatákratuḥ kīnā́śā āsan marútaḥ sudā́navaḥ ||1||
This barley, combined with honey, the gods plowed much on the Sarasvatī, in behalf of Manu (?); Indra, of a hundred abilities, was furrow-master; the liberal (? sudā́nu) Maruts were the plowmen.

yás te mádo 'vakeśó vikeśó yénābhihásyaṃ púruṣaṃ kr̥ṇóṣi |

The intoxication that is thine, with loosened hair, with disheveled hair, wherewith thou makest a man to be laughed at—far from thee do I wrench [out] other woods; do thou, O çamī́, grow up with a hundred twigs.

O thou of great leaves, blessed one, rain-increased, righteous! as a mother to her sons, be thou gracious to the hair, O çamī́.
