6.31.1

आयं गौः पृश्निरक्रमीदसदन् मातरं पुरः ।
पितरं च प्रयन्त्स्वः ॥ ६.३१.१ ॥

This dappled cow stepped forward; she set the mother before her and, going forth with the father, moved toward the heavenly light.

अन्तश्चरति रोचना अस्य प्राणादपानतः ।
व्यख्यन् महिषः स्वः ॥ ६.३१.२ ॥

Within her shining lights move, from the in-breath and the out-breath; the mighty one illumines the heavenly world.

त्रिंशद्धामा वि राजति वाक्पतङ्गो अशिश्रियत् ।
प्रति वस्तोरहर्द्युभिः ॥ ६.३१.३ ॥

The bird of speech, having thirty abodes, shines forth; toward the dawn, with the days, it takes its rest.
