प्र काव्य॑मु॒शने॑व ब्रुवा॒णो दे॒वो दे॒वानां॒ जनि॑मा विवक्ति । महि॑व्रत॒: शुचि॑बन्धुः पाव॒कः प॒दा व॑रा॒हो अ॒भ्ये॑ति॒ रेभ॑न् ॥

English translation:
“Reciting sacred praise like Uṣanas the praiser (Vṛṣagaṇa) proclaims the births of the gods; assiduous in pious observances, of brilliant radiance, purifying (from sin), he approaches the filter making a noise (as) a wild boar (makes a noise) with its foot.”
Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya
The praiser: devaḥ = Soma; as a wild boar makes a noise with its foot: varāhaḥ = effused on a good (vara) day (ahan)-- epithet of Soma;
Pada = padāni, abodes, i.e., the filters
