From the noses the winged ones reached the living voice; the earlier ones, with veined mouths, uttered words. The minds free the infant; they drink the flowing golden omen—bird-like, steadfast in seat.
The many voices of the Venas praise (the Soma who dwells) in heaven, well-winged, falling (to earth); praises soothe the crying infant, the golden bird, reposing on the earth.
The Loving Ones besought with many voices the Eagle who had flown away to heaven. Hymns kiss the Youngling worthy of laudation, resting on earth, the Bird of golden colour.
