Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Rich in sweets the root, rich in sweets the tip of them, rich in sweets was the middle of the plants; rich in sweets the leaf, rich in sweets the flower of them; partaking of sweet, a drink of nectar (amṛ́ta), let them milk out ghee, food, with milk (gó-) as chief (-purogavá).
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
