गावो भगो गाव इन्द्रो मे अच्छान्गावः सोमस्य प्रथमस्य भक्षः ।
इमा या गावः स जनास इन्द्र इच्छामीद्धृदा मनसा चिदिन्द्रम् ॥५॥

" गायें हमारा मुख्य धन हो, इन्द्र हमें गोधन प्रदान करें तथा यज्ञों की प्रधान वस्तु सोमरस के साथ मिलकर गायों का दूध ही उनका नैवेध बने। जिसके पास ये गायें है,
वह तो एक प्रकार से इन्द्र ही है। मैं अपने श्रद्धायुक्त मन से गव्य पदार्थों के इन्द्र (भगवान) का भजन करना चाहता हूँ। "
