अथातः शौव उद्गीथः । तद् ध बको दाल्भ्यो ग्लावो वा मैत्रेयः स्वाध्यायम् उद्वव्राज
athātaḥ śauva udgīthaḥ | tad dha bako dālbhyo glāvo vā maitreyaḥ svādhyāyam udvavrāja
Now follows the udgîtha of the dogs. Vaka Dâlbhya, or, as he was also called, Glâva Maitreya, went out to repeat the Veda (in a quiet place).
Translated by F. Max Müller
तस्मै श्वा श्वेतः प्रादुर् बभूव । तम् अन्ये श्वान उपसमेत्योचुः । अन्नं नो भगवान् आगायतु । अशनायाम वा इति
tasmai śvā śvetaḥ prādur babhūva | tam anye śvāna upasametyocuḥ | annaṃ no bhagavān āgāyatu | aśanāyāma vā iti
A white (dog) appeared before him, and other dogs gathering round him, said to him: 'Sir, sing and get us food, we are hungry.'
Translated by F. Max Müller
तान् होवाचेहैव मा प्रातर् उपसमीयतेति । तद् ध बको दाल्भ्यो ग्लावो वा मैत्रेयः प्रतिपालयां चकार
tān hovācehaiva mā prātar upasamīyateti | tad dha bako dālbhyo glāvo vā maitreyaḥ pratipālayāṃ cakāra
The white dog said to them: 'Come to me to-morrow morning.' Vaka Dâlbhya, or, as he was also called, Glâva Maitreya, watched.
Translated by F. Max Müller
ते ह यथैवेदं बहिष्पवमानेन स्तोष्यमाणाः संरब्धाः सर्पन्तीत्य् एवम् आससृपुः । ते ह समुपविश्य हिञ् चक्रुः
te ha yathaivedaṃ bahiṣpavamānena stoṣyamāṇāḥ saṃrabdhāḥ sarpantīty evam āsasṛpuḥ | te ha samupaviśya hiñ cakruḥ
The dogs came on, holding together, each dog keeping the tail of the preceding dog in his mouth, as the priests do when they are going to sing praises with the Vahishpavamâna hymn. After they had settled down, they began to say Hin.
Translated by F. Max Müller
ओ३मदा३म । ॐ३ पिबा३म । ॐ३ देवो वरुणः प्रजापतिः सविता२ऽन्नम् इहा२ऽहरत् । अन्नपते३ऽन्नमिहा२ऽऽहरा२ऽऽहरो३मिति
o3madā3ma | oṃ3 pibā3ma | oṃ3 devo varuṇaḥ prajāpatiḥ savitā2'nnam ihā2'harat | annapate3'nnamihā2''harā2''haro3miti
'Om, let us eat! Om, let us drink! Om, may the divine Varuna, Pragâpati, Savitri bring us food! Lord of food, bring hither food, bring it, Om!'
