8.14.26
सोदक्रामत्सा देवान् आगच्छत्तां देवा उपाह्वयन्तोर्ज एहीति ।
तस्या इन्द्रो वत्स आसीच्चमसः पात्रम् ।
तां देवः सविताधोक्तामूर्जामेवाधोक् ।
तामूर्जां देवा उप जीवन्त्युपजीवनीयो भवति य एवं वेद ॥ ८.१४.२६ ॥
She went forth and came to the gods; the gods called her, "Ūrj, come!" Her calf was Indra, her vessel the cup. Savitṛ, the god, milked her — indeed he milked only Ūrj. By that Ūrj the gods live; he who knows thus becomes a means of livelihood.
8.14.27
सोदक्रामत्सा गन्धर्वाप्सरस आगच्छत्तां गन्धर्वाप्सरस उपाह्वयन्त पुण्यगन्ध एहीति ।
तस्याश्चित्ररथः सौर्यवर्चसो वत्स आसीत्पुष्करपर्णं पात्रम् ।
तां वसुरुचिः सौर्यवर्चसोऽधोक्तां पुण्यमेव गन्धमधोक् ।
तं पुण्यं गन्धं गन्धर्वाप्सरस उप जीवन्ति पुण्यगन्धिरुपजीवनीयो भवति य एवं वेद ॥ ८.१४.२७ ॥
She went forth and came to the gandharvas and apsaras; the gandharvas and apsaras called her, "Puṇyagandhā, come!" Her calf was Citraratha of solar splendour, her vessel the lotus leaf. Vasuruci of solar splendour milked her — indeed he milked only the sweet fragrance. By that sweet fragrance the gandharvas and apsaras live; he who knows thus becomes a means of livelihood.
8.14.28
सोदक्रामत्सेतरजनान् आगच्छत्तामितरजना उपाह्वयन्त तिरोध एहीति ।
तस्याः कुबेरो वैश्रवणो वत्स आसीदामपात्रं पात्रम् ।
तां रजतनाभिः कबेरकोऽधोक्तां तिरोधामेवाधोक् ।
तां तिरोधामतिरजना पितर उप जीवन्ति तिरो धत्ते सर्वं पाप्मानमुपजीवनीयो भवति य एवं वेद ॥ ८.१४.२८ ॥
She departed and came to other people; other people called her, 'O Tirodhā, come.' Her calf was Vaiśravaṇa Kubera, and the vessel was a raw vessel. Rajatanābhi Kaberaka milked her, milking Tirodhā herself. By that Tirodhā other people and the fathers live; she keeps away all evil; he who knows this becomes a support of life.
8.14.29
सोदक्रामत्सा सर्पान् आगच्छत्तां सर्पा उपाह्वयन्त विषवत्येहीति ।
तस्यास्तक्षको वैशालेयो वत्स आसीदलाबुपात्रं पात्रम् ।
तां धृतराष्ट्र ऐरावतोऽधोक्तां विषमेवाधोक् ।
तद्विषं सर्पा उप जीवन्त्युपजीवनीयो भवति य एवं वेद ॥ ८.१४.२९ ॥
She departed and came to the serpents; the serpents called her, 'O Viṣavatī, come.' Her calf was Vaiśāleya Takṣaka, and the vessel was a gourd vessel. Dhṛtarāṣṭra Airāvata milked her, milking poison itself. By that poison the serpents live; he who knows this becomes a support of life.
