1, 2 These mares come springing forward to Pratipa Pratisutvana.

3, 4 One of them is Harikinka. Harikinka, what seekest thou?

5, 6 The excellent, the golden son: where now hast thou abandoned him?

7, 8 There where around those distant trees, three young ones are standing there,

9, 10 three adders, breathing angrily, are blowing loud the threatening horn.

11, 12 Hither has come a stallion: he is known by droppings on his way,

13, 14 as by their dung the course of kine. What wouldst thou in the home of men?

15, 16 Barley and ripened rice I seek. On rice and barley hast thou fed,

17, 18 as the big serpent feeds on sheep. Cow's hoof and horse's tail hast thou.

19, 20 Winged with a falcon's pinion is that harmless swelling of thy tongue.
