हंसासो ये वाम् मधुमन्तो अस्रिधो हिरण्यपर्णा उहुव उषर्बुधः । उदप्रुतो मन्दिनो मन्दिनिस्पृशो मध्वो न मक्षः सवनानि गच्छथः ॥
haṃsāso ye vām madhumanto asridho hiraṇyaparṇā uhuva uṣarbudhaḥ | udapruto mandino mandinispṛśo madhvo na makṣaḥ savanāni gacchathaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
The swans ye have are friendly, rich in store of meath, gold-pinioned, strong to draw, awake at early morn, Swimming the flood, exultant, fain for draughts that cheer: ye come like flies to our libations of-the meath.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
