अयं मेषः सवृषणः शक्रो ह्यवृषणः कृतः।
मेषस्य वृषणौ गृह्य शक्रायाशु प्रयच्छथ॥
ayaṁ meṣaḥ savṛṣaṇaḥ śakro hy avṛṣaṇaḥ kṛtaḥ
meṣasya vṛṣaṇau gṛhya śakrāyāśu prayacchatha
ayam meṣaḥ = here is a ram; savṛṣaṇaḥ = with testicles; śakraḥ hi = Indra; avṛṣaṇaḥ kṛtaḥ = has been made testicleless; meṣasya vṛṣaṇau gṛhya = please take the testicles of this ram and; śakrāya āśu prayacchatha = place it in Indra’s body.
Here is a ram with testicles. Indra has been made testicleless. Please take the testicles of this ram and place it in Indra’s body.
“Here is a ram” means “Here is a ram that is being used in sacrifice for all of you.”
